Afghanistan
To full understand Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and 9/11, you have to look into the past history. At some point in 1990, the FBI took a handwritten list of contacts from a top official of the Al-Kifah Refugee Center in Brooklyn, NY. (Al-Kifah is a charity front with links to both al-Qaeda and the CIA.)Not much is known about the list, like exactly when they took it, why, what was done with it, and whose names were on the list.

Then it happened, the terrorist attacks took place. We all know how America was after 9/11, but this is about Afghanistan. Right after the attacks one of the leaders of the attacks went to Pakistan, and then went to Afghanistan and joined Bin Laden.
