al-Qaeda was founded in the late 1980s as a backlash to the Soviet war in Afghanistan. It was started by militants such as Osama bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam. Their goal was the spread of Islam.
Osama bin Laden
Al Qaeda attacked the U.S. on 9/11 because it opposes U.S. foreign policy. Al Qaeda is a fundamentalist Islamic terrorist organization and opposes U.S. involvement in the Middle East and U.S. support for Israel. Al Qaeda was founded by Osama bin Laden, a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan War. It is possible he hoped to involve the U.S., like the Soviet Union, in a quagmire in Afghanistan.
Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence."Some Islamic economic lobbies are conducting a war against the 'liberal" economic lobbies. They use local terrorist groups claiming to act on behalf of Al Qaida. On the other hand, national armies invade independent countries under the aegis of the UN Security Council and carry out pre-emptive wars. And the real sponsors of these wars are not governments but the lobbies concealed behind them.The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money."
