i'll drop some knowledge on the ruskies here that like to blame America for al qaida-
"Al-Qaeda was created in 1989 as Soviet forces withdrew from Afghanistan and Osama Bin Laden and his colleagues began looking for new jihads.
The organisation grew out of the network of Arab volunteers who had gone to Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight under the banner of Islam against Soviet Communism."
ruskies have yourselves to blame for al qaida.
