History With Hilbert | Who are Al-Qaeda? | 5 Minute History Episode 11 @historywithhilbert | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Perhaps the most infamous of all Islamist groups, what do Al-Qaeda actually want and where do they come from? In this video I look at their origins in the Afghan-Soviet War (1979-1989), the creation of the group in 1988 and involvement in the Global Jihad, its place during the Gulf War and relations with Saudi Arabia, the plans of Osama Bin Laden and the attacks in East Africa before the infamous attack on New York (and other places) on the 11th of September 2001, the 9/11 Attacks.
