Al-Qaeda has no host country but it is believed that they could be hiding in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and other countries.
After years of civil strife, the Taliban, a violent Islamic organisation, took over control of Afghanistan in 1996. The Taliban, a group of predominantly Pashtun militants who fought against the many warlords vying for control of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, emerged from Islamic schools (madrasas) in Pakistan. When the Taliban first gained notoriety as a political and military organisation in 1994, they had already seized control of the majority of the nation and the capital city of Kabul, creating the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban's administration was distinguished by the rigid application of their interpretation of Islamic law, which included the enslavement of women, the outlawing of music and television, and the severe punishment of dissidents. Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognised the Taliban as a legitimate administration.
Although the ultimate goal of Al Qaeda is to overthrow the corrupt “apostate” regimes in the Middle East and replace them with “true” Islamic governments, Al Qaeda's primary enemy is the United States, which it sees as the root cause of the Middle East's problems.
The US originally justified the Iraq War by citing reasons such as the presence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), alleged links to terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, and the need to remove Saddam Hussein from power to promote democracy in the region. However, after the war, it was determined that Iraq did not possess WMDs, leading to criticism of the original justification.
Because many terrorists involved with the extremist group called Al Qaeda planned attacks from Afghanistan and many members of the group are still there.

Neither. Al-Qaeda caused 9-11, but Al-Qaeda was operating out of Afghanistan. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
Al-Qaeda members are known to speak Arabic, particularly in regions where the group is active. Additionally, members may speak other regional languages depending on their location, such as Pashto in Afghanistan or Urdu in Pakistan.
