The name is Usama, but arabic U is often transcribed as O (there's no O in arabic; for example, there were no word Ottoman/Osman is derived from arabic Uthman; name Umar exists often in Omar version in transcription)
ibn is a complicated matter.
word "ibn" = son.
but often in this case alif with kasra that stands for i in this word is not written, so it ends up with bn. But it's hard to pronounce sometimes, so small i sounds gets in between.
Ladin is correct, but You English-speakers have bad habit or using E for latin/polish/arabic i. And so, it becomes Laden. Otherwise You might pronounce it badly I think.

So no direct connection between "bin" and Hebrew "ben"? other than connection between 'ben' and 'ibn'?

Too bad. Mashadov has been portrayed by many as the only one with the potential to unite the Chechens in a peace effort. Now I don't see any end to the war.
