Al Qaeda Formation
The name Al Qaeda was common in the Soviet-Afghanistan war training camps and it is translated to mean the base in the English language. This organization developed during the Bureau, becoming an organization of faith-fueled warriors rigorously working on an ideological program to protect the world’s evils to Israel and an America that was Jew-dominated. Osama used his managerial skills to establish this group as a business and obtained many of the finances from legitimate businesses.

When America introduced troops into Saudi Arabia, bin Laden publicly spoke against the U.S. and blamed them for Muslim problems. He was placed under house arrest but kept on importing weapons from Yemen to overthrow the Saudi government. Eventually, he fled Saudi and cut communication with the royal family. Pleas from the royal family to have him back and apologize, plus the threat to deprive him of his citizenship, fell on deaf ears (Randal,
