What is true is, that the US helped and supported Bin Laden for decades, when he fought against the Russians in Afghanistan until they withdrew.

At that time the CIA had also recruited some additional people from abroad to fight with the Taliban resistance aginst the Russians in Afghanistan, and ran a data base that contained all fighters along with telephone number, addresses and ways to contact them.

At some point this group decided (for whatever reason - maybe they were betrayed, or at least felt like that) to turn against the US - really ? Did they ?

The name of said file was indeed "Al quaeda", and this is nothing new. Come on Dowly, do you want to question that ?

Make of that what you want
