Osama bin Laden. ;] They're spelling it Usama instead of Osama because people get it mixed up with OBAMA!
Osama and Usama are the same name. In Arabic, the same letter (waw) can be pronounced somewhat closer to an "O" or closer to a "U" in English depending on accent. The transcription in English marks this difference, but it is the same name. (This is the same as the differences between Mohammed and Muhammad).
