Al Qaeda as an international terrorist organization does not exist as the West claims. Since the 9/11 attacks there has been no evidence that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the strike. It is clear that the radical political Islamist movement is a reaction to US imperialism, support for Israel, and autocratic regimes in the Middle East. Former vice president Cheney even stated that "we never made the case that Osama Bin Laden was involved in 9/11. What became Al Qaeda was the remnants of US covert action in Afghanistan. Arming rebel factions known as the mujahideen. The Carter administration began arming extremists in the 1970s. This induced a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. When the Soviets withdrew, the Islamists began to take over. This culminated in blowback and the subsequent attacks in 2001.
