Best Answer

Al Qaeda was originally created during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, as a way for the Afghans to fight the Russians. They received intelligence from the Central Intelligence Agency and had the support of most of NATO.

After the Soviets were kicked out of Afghanistan, they used their high powered weaponry and Americanized training to gain influence throughout the Middle East, and try to rid the Middle East of foreign influence.

They began to dislike NATO, and America, because of their (or our) influence (foreign influence) in Saudi Arabia.

Why is the war on terror centred around Afghanistan?

The terrorist group Al-Qaeda has major links to the Taliban government who were in power in Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan is not the only country to be "invaded" as a result of the war on terror; Iraq was also liberated from Saddam Hussein. The main reason, is because the AlQaeda (a terrorist group) targeted our twin towers, and other high authority buildings, and so we retaliate. It wouldn't be centered around Afghanistan if the terrorist group weren't there.


Why they attack The World Trade Center?

Alqaeda, a terrorist organisation lead by Osama Bin Laden, officially instigated the attacks. This was done to "punish" the American people for the US government's numerous crimes and interferances in the Muslim world. However, there is a sheer mass of evidence suggesting that the attacks were an inside job, instigated by the US government itself.
