Which terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden pursued global jihad in the name of Islam?

Hamas Hezbollah ISIS Al-Qaeda

Correct Answer:

Al-Qaeda

Explanation:

The key idea is identifying the organization tied to Osama bin Laden that promoted a worldwide jihad. Al-Qaeda was founded by Bin Laden to unify Islamist militants across borders and wage jihad globally, not just in a single country. This global, transnational aim is what sets it apart. The other groups have different origins and focuses: Hamas is a Palestinian Islamist movement centered on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia group aligned with Iran, and ISIS is a separate organization that rose under different leadership. So the best SAMPLEanswer is Al-Qaeda.
