why I am interested in Al qaeda?

Many that read this blog may ask why i have chosen to write about Al qaeda. One of the main reasons is because Al qaeda is the most known international terrorist network in the world. Al qaeda is led by Usama Bin Laden or also known as Osama, the reason that many people spell in these two different ways is because it is originally translated from Arabic. Since Arabic does not use our alphabet then translation can vary. Al qaeda became well known by the people of the United States September 11, 2001. This was the day that a series of coordinated suicide attacks were planned by Al qaeda upon the United States. Another fact that has interested me is that Al qaeda has trained over 5,000 militants in camps in Afghanistan since the late 1980's. Bin Laden is said to be part of a billionaire family that owned the Bin Laden group construction empire, which it said that he inherited tens of millions of dollars that he uses to help finance Al qaeda. There are many interesting facts behind Al qaeda that many people don't know and that's why i have chosen this topic to inform people about this terrorist network.
