Al-Qaeda was founded by Osama bin Laden in 1988. Initially established as a network to support the mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War, it evolved into a global jihadist organization. Bin Laden, along with other key figures, aimed to promote a radical interpretation of Islam and to oppose Western influence in Muslim countries. The group gained international notoriety for its coordinated terrorist attacks, most notably the September 11 attacks in 2001.
