Al-Qaeda is a terrorist and jihadist organization that works as an international criminal network with cells throughout the world. It was founded by the Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden, during the war of Afghanistan against the Soviet invasion, as a base to fight against the Soviet troops. In that context, he received funds and training from the US military. After this war ended, Al-Qaeda got involved in several conflicts in the Islamic world, aligning with the Taliban in Afghanistan, fighting to stop the genocide of Muslims that took place in Yugoslavia, and against the American troops sent to Somalia. Soon, Al-Qaeda targeted against the US as its main enemy, since he saw it as an anti-Islamic and pro-Zionist country and he was angry that the largest Middle East oil sources, those from the Gulf countries, supplied the American economy and American troops. For these reasons, Al-Qaeda made several terrorist attacks against the US, with the World Trade Center attack being the largest and most notorious of them.
