The History Of Al Qaeda

Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by the most wanted terrorist in America, Osama Bin Laden, to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Invasion. Al Qaeda works with allied Islamic extremist groups to take over regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and remove Westerners from Muslin countries. The organization first began with three members and now there are approximately 200 to 1,000 current members. Al-Qaeda began to construct and offer training camps and guesthouses to its recruits; while they also attempted to pull in U.S. citizens for financial, communication, and operation reasons for the benefit of Al-Qaeda and its other affiliations. By 1990 Al-Qaeda was providing military and intelligence training in various areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sudan.

The word “ terrorism” is used a lot in the world nowadays. The definition of a terrorist is someone who uses intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. Some example of what we have establish as terror attacks are the Twin Towers in New York on the 11 of september 2001 or the Paris attack on november the 13 2015. The attacks were done by two different groups of terrorists, but what people tend to ignore is that these terrorist groups did not come to life from the unknown. What people tend to ignore or maybe just don’t understand or don’t know is that in this case, Al Qaeda was a creation of the United States of America, a country which was colossally

The creator of this group was Osama Bin Laden. The U.S. and Osama Bin Laden had different opinions on who had more power and a better religion (Cassidy Frieling). The main reason on why Al-Qaeda did this attack was because of disapproval of America’s relationship with Israel (Olivia Pelaez). The reason behind this is because Israel and the United States are the closest because the U.S. supports them with military and financial assistance (Kyrie Dozer). Also, they wanted America to be the same religion as them which is Islamic (Kyrie Dozer). To sum it up, the reason why Al-Qaeda attacked the U.S. was because our relationship with Israel and our different viewpoints of

Although bin Laden was an inspirational leader, Al Qaeda is a religious, separatist organization whose ideology resonates within a wide group of people in the Middle East. Bin Laden’s spiritual teachings brought in members, but he was not their prime-recruiting tool. If Al Qaeda had revolved entirely around bin Laden’s personal logic and ideals it would have collapsed with him, but because of their broad ideology Al Qaeda, has been able to stay strong.

In 1980, Muslims around the world voyaged to a jihad opposed to the soviet union and after the defeat of the soviet union; Bin Laden and associates of al Qaeda started to assemble jihads elsewhere. Al Qaeda developed many features since it’s beginning. For example, they raised money illegally to fund the attack, transported minions across the world for attacks, created moles inside powerful administrations that could oversea their operations, they

The Taliban founded in the year of 1994 by a man named Mullah Mohammad Omar. It originated in Afghanistan and was created with the purpose of destroying the foreign military in Afghanistan and to reestablish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under strict Sharia Law ("Taliban Narrative"). The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would then be brought back into play in the year of 1996. However, the event that led to the creation of the Taliban happened almost a decade earlier in the year of 1979. In 1979 the Soviets began invading Afghanistan, they were there for about ten years and then withdrew late in the year of 1988 and early 1989. Mujahedeen forces then removed the soviet government in the year of 1992 and led to rivalry between groups. A year

Al-Qaeda was formed because the group was meant to help repeal foreign influences in the Middle East. When The United states of America had attacked Iraq and had entered Saudi Arabia, Bin laden thought America was involved and he had felt backstabbed by the Saudi Arabia Government. The United

Al Qaeda is one of the major terrorist organizations in the world, they are responsible for at least thirty attacks worldwide and three on US soil, most famously they are responsible for the attacks on September 11th 2001. Al Qaeda started in nineteen eighty-eight by the leader Osama Bin Laden, who has been the leader for both attacks in New York City. The major attack was the deadliest attack on US soil, which was the

roots go back to the late seventies when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The word al-Qaida (the base) was first used by its founder Osama Bin Laden and his first-line Lieutenants in 1988. The word was a reference to the records that contained information about the members who joined jihads in Afghanistan from all around the world. It was not until 1989 that this word took on meaning for jihad groups in Afghanistan or elsewhere. Burke argues that it was unclear if Bin Laden and his group even called themselves al-Qaeda during this era.

Al-Qaeda, or “the Base” in Arabic, is an arrangement of extremists initially organized by Osama Bin Laden. Al-Qaeda originated throughout the uprising against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Thousands of volunteers from around the Middle East came to Afghanistan as mujahideen, warriors fighting to defend fellow Muslims. Bin Laden returned to his native Saudi Arabia after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan and founded an organization to help veterans of the Afghan war, thus creating the basis of al-Qaeda. The death of Bin Laden, who was killed in a joint operation by US troops and CI operatives in May 2011, complicated the future of al-Qaeda. Some speculated that the group might seek retaliation, while others wondered if they would wallow without their supreme leader. More than a month after bin Laden’s death, al-Qaeda named Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri as their new leader. Following bin Laden’s death another powerful top ranking al-Qaeda leader, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, was killed in June. Fazul Abdullah Mohammed was the leader of al-Qaeda in East Africa and was responsible for the organized US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998.

The story begins in 1979 when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to defend a puppet dictator against rebels. Many men from the Middle East traveled to fight alongside the rebels as they see it as a religious battle. Among these rebels were Osama bin-Laden and Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, the rebels went home, at this time Osama bin-Laden forms Al-Qaeda while Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi forms his own group. Bin-Laden grew Al-Qaeda to be a global force while Zarqawi’s organization dwindled. They later returned to Afghanistan which was under Taliban control around 1996. On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda attacked the United States from its base in Afghanistan. The United States then invaded Afghanistan and Bin-Laden fled

Al Qaeda is one of the most well known terrorist groups of the 21st century due to their statement terrorists acts that have shaken entire countries such as the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre in the USA and the bombing of Madrid’s railway station in Spain. This group was founded in Saudi Arabia in 1988 by Osama Bin Laden after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan. All actions that they take are justified by the Islamic religion and they are driven by the Sharia, naming themselves the Jihad or the members of the Holy War. Bin Laden and his deputies have been killed by the US in 2011 in an attempt to stop this terrorist group, however they continue to run today, only with less control and more killings, going by the name ISIS or the Islamic

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists who were members of the Islamic terrorist organization named al-Qaeda, hijacked four commercial airplanes and committed suicide attacks against the United States. Two of the planes were ran into the towers of the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside of Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in mass death and destruction, triggering the United States initiatives to fight terrorism and defend our country. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., among these people were more than 400 police officers and 300 firefighters, these heros lost their lives

There are several terrorist groups throughout the world today. All the terrorist groups have one common goal and that is to rid the world of Americans and western influence from the Muslim world. There is one organization that has ties to most of all the terrorist groups in the world and is the most infamous group in the world today and that is the group called Al-Qaeda The word Al-Qaeda means “the base” in Muslim. As an international terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden. The group seeks to rid Muslim countries of western influence and replace them with fundamentalist Islamic regimes. Al-Qaeda grew out of the of the ashes of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1988, after it helped expel the Soviet
