Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west.

It is noteworthy that that Yugoslav government, the government with whom Bunel was asserted by the French government to have shared information, claimed that Albanian and Bosnian guerrillas in the Balkans were being backed by elements of “Al Qaeda.” We now know that these guerrillas were being backed by money provided by the Bosnian Defense Fund, an entity established as a special fund at Bush-influenced Riggs Bank and directed by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith.
The available information on the internet changes over time. Sources vanish or hide, data is reinterpreted or rewritten to fit (minitrue you know).
Evidence is hard to find for us. They are not stupid to leave it out in the open. They actively work on our perception, on the information and its interpretation.
'As far as I understand' does not claim any evidence.
It's all about connecting the dots, the bits of information we get, not following the prethought concepts offered by the governments (they tend to lie), but using one's own brain. Forming an 'own' opinion by thinking.
