You know who else was interested in RPGs? Hitl... er, Bin Laden!

I doubt he was a gamer, per se, but more likely the presence of the article is merely an indication that he was looking into articles on 9/11. Of course, he was a leader of a political movement, so he might have had interest in tactical games. My old FRPG/wargaming club at Texas A&M had the story of the time that Dr. Kissinger wandered into their gaming convention (no longer held as the club folded) in the student union after his speaking session during the annual lecture series, asked what was going on, and when was informed that it was a board gaming convention, inquired (and usually the storyteller would do his very best Kissinger impersonation), "Do you have... Diplomacy?" When informed that there was a Diplomacy tournament going on, he paid the $5 or so for a one-day ticket and entered the tournament. No idea how well he did, but given that it's Dr. Henry "Nixon Does What I Tell Him To" Kissinger we're talking about here, I'm guessing he was probably pretty successful. So, it's entirely possible that Bin Laden was an avid fan of Illuminati and other games of the like.
