Origin of Al Qaeda

Al-Qaeda is a militant Islamic terrorist organization behind many major assassinations and kidnappings in the world. At the head of this organization stood since its foundation Saudi multimillionaire Osama bin Laden, who greatly contributed to its funding. He was shot dead in targeted attack military U.S. Army 2nd 5th 2011 at its headquarters in Pakistan(Jones & Libicki, 2008).

The name al-Qaeda has not been used by them as a group (before September 11), but comes from a text that issued where it refers to itself as a Qaeda-al-Jihad, which means the foundation of jihad. This name was coined only in the American judicial system to connect Osama bin Laden (and prosecute him in absentia) for a previous act of terrorism directed against the U.S. embassies in Nairobi.
