The Al Qaeda Network

Many Americans knew little of Al Qaeda or its founder, Osama bin Laden before September 11, 2001. although the depth of the militant Islamist network, whose name is Arabic for “the Base”, date back to the late 1970s and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan.

Since announcing a holy war on the United States, Jews and their associate, Al Qaeda has been established accountable for nearly 3,000 deaths on 9/11, and various other deadly attacks around the world. The worldwide terror chain has been connected to radical groups across the Middle East and beyond.
Bin Laden and the Origins of Al Qaeda
Soviet Union gave support to the communist Afghan government during the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War in Afghanistan, in which the, Muslim insurgents, known as the Mujahideen, rallied to fight a jihad (or holy war) against the invaders. Amidst them was a Saudi Arabian—the 17th child (of 52) of a millionaire construction magnate—named Osama bin Laden, who supported the Mujahideen with money, weapons and fighters.
A Palestinian Sunni Islamic scholar Abdullah, missionary and mentor of bin Laden, the men began to grow a large financial network, and when the Soviets departed from Afghanistan in 1989, Al Qaeda was build to take on future holy wars. For Bin Laden, that was a fight he wanted to take universally.
Azzam, vice-versa, wanted to focus efforts on turning Afghanistan into an Islamist government. When in a car bombing in Pakistan Azzam was assassinated in 1989, Bin Laden was left as the group’s leader.
The U.S.-Led War on Terror, when four passenger airplanes were hijacked by al Qaeda terrorists After September 11, 2001, resulting in the mass murder of 2,977 casualty in New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Somerset County, Bin Laden was named as the mastermind and prime suspect.
The attacks led to the U.S. War in Afghanistan, a.k.a. Operation Enduring Freedom, launched on October 7, 2001, driving bin Laden’s protector, the Taliban, from power, although the war continued. Bin Laden was enforced into going underground—Osama Bin Laden had an FBI-issued $25 million bounty on his head. Bin Laden concealed authorities until May 2, 2011, when a hidden operation by U.S. Navy SEALs, shot and killed the terrorist leader at a private compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
