the taliban saw him as a political and spiritual leader.
the taliban ruled over him, because he was from afghanistan.
the taliban supported his goals, and allowed him to operate out of afghanistan.
the taliban exiled him from afghanistan.

Explanation:

Osama bin Laden, leader of al-Qaeda, had an alliance with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The Taliban provided safe haven for bin Laden and his network, allowing them to operate training camps and plan attacks from Afghan territory, as they shared extremist ideological goals. Bin Laden was not a political/spiritual leader of the Taliban, nor was he ruled by them (he was from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan), and he was not exiled by them until after the 9/11 attacks when the Taliban refused to hand him over.

Answer:

The Taliban supported his goals, and allowed him to operate out of Afghanistan.
