Osama Bin Laden was declared wanted by Gaddafi three years before the 9/11 attacks.

Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

There is no verified historical evidence that Muammar Gaddafi declared Osama Bin Laden wanted three years before the 9/11 attacks. The available sources focus on Gaddafi's general opposition to Bin Laden and his criticisms of terrorism but do not specify this claim directly. Consequently, without direct corroboration from reliable historical sources, the claim cannot be substantiated.
