Al-Qäida questions

Introduction

Al-Qaeda, an international terrorist network, is considered the top terrorist threat to the United States and a global militant islamist organization. It was founded by Osama bin Laden at some point between August 1988 and late 1989 with its origins being traceable to the Soviet War in Afghanistan.

Historical Background

Al-Qaeda grew out of the Services Office, a clearinghouse for the international Muslim brigade opposed to the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the 1980s, the Services Office--run by bin Laden and the Palestinian religious scholar Abdullah Azzam--recruited, trained, and financed thousands of foreign mujahadeen, or holy warriors, from more than fifty countries. Bin Laden wanted these fighters to continue the "holy war" beyond Afghanistan.

Nowadays

Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, shortly after 1:00 am local time by a United States special forces military unit. The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was ordered by United States President Barack Obama and carried out in a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation by a team of United States Navy SEALs.

But recently, Al-Qaida has retunrned to the international background helping the syrian rebels in their war against Assad's regime. These piece of new we are adding under was released few hours ago:

The Problem

Attacks:

-On December 29, 1992, al-Qaeda's first terrorist attack took place as two bombs were detonated in Aden, Yemen. The first target was the Movenpick Hotel and the second was the parking lot of the Goldmohur Hotel.

 -The 1998 United States embassy bombings were a series of attacks that occurred on August 7, 1998, in which hundreds of people were killed in simultaneous truck bomb explosions at the United States embassies in the East African capitals of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.

-The last important one happened in 2003. Istanbul bombings were four truck bomb attacks carried out on November 15, 2003 and November 20, 2003, in Istanbul, Turkey, leaving 67 people dead, and 700 wounded. Several men have been convicted for their involvement in the bombing.

Conclusion

Al-Qaeda is an international terrorist network responsible for thousands of deaths all over the world, founded by the deceased terrorist Osama Bin Laden at some point between August 1988 and late 1989.
