Summary
“His beard was black in the beginning of the jihad, but after only two years, his entire beard was grey and white,” one of Azzam’s nephews later wrote. Azzam was only forty years old, so what took such a toll on his beard? This chapter will look at what he did in his first few years in Pakistan.
