During the 1980's, a large number of Muslims moved from Middle Eastern countries to Afghanistan to unite with the Afghan people on a war that was going on that began in 1979. Osama Bin Laden was considered a big leader during this time. He used the wealth he posessed, to create a terrorist network that would keep Afghan fighters together. Al Qaeda was funded by a fundraiser and Osama Bin Laden was getting about a million dollars a year. Around 1992, Bin Laden decided to pay close attention to the United States which was known as "the head of the snake" at the time. He stated that the United States gave the wrong people the wrong power and they weren't following the right beliefs.
