During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in the latter part of the Cold War, bin Laden was (amazingly enough) an ally of the US, and received US military aid to help him oppose the Soviet invasion.
remember september 11 2001 Osama bin Laden attacked the world trade centers so we went to war with Afghanistan because of 9/11
Yes. During Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, the CIA assisted the Afghan Mujahedin in their guerrilla war against the Soviets. Osama bin Laden was one of the key Mujahedin leaders and helped facilitate weapons transfers with the CIA. Following the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the United States and CIA also ceased assisting Osama bin Laden and Mujahedin.
The first attacks launched on Afghanistan were in response to terrorist attacks on U.S. soil on September 11, which killed nearly 3,000 people. The United States identified Osama bin Laden, and terrorist organization Al Qaeda, as being behind the attacks, and established that the Taliban were harboring bin Laden in Afghanistan. President George W. Bush demanded that bin Laden be turned over to the U.S. That demand was not met, and on October 7, President Bush officially announced the military operations, and discussed intentions of the "war on terrorism".
Yes, after 9 11 Afghanistan was regarded as a save haven for terrorists, particularly al-Qaeda and it's leader Osama bin Laden.
Attack on soil on September 11,2001. The reason the US went to war in Afghanistan was because it was established globally that bin laden was behind the attack on the US 9/11 and that he was being harbored in Afghanistan by the Taliban. After many failed attempts to negotiate a turn over of bin laden to the US, the US finally launched formal attack on Afghanistan and more precisely the Taliban.
After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. concluded that responsibility lay with agents of al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization headed by Osama Bin Laden. At the time, Osama bin Laden was being given safe haven by Afghanistan's radical Taliban government. After the Taliban refused to give up Bin Laden, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan to install a U.S.-friendly government. Since then, the Taliban have become rebels fighting to regain their power and that's pretty much the war.
