[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sir Fragula Unlikely. Al Qæda as an organisation didn't actually exist until post 11/09, and even then it's just a small group of rich men who occasionally allow their money to be used for their geopolitical ends...[/quote] Actually that is incorrect. Al Queda has been around [b]at least[/b] since 1995, and in 1996 claimed responsibility for the attacks on the USS Cole. They have been around for probably much longer than that, hiding in the shadows like the weasels they are. Please do not belittle their involvment in worldwide affaris - they are a very real and dangerous threat and in no way are "just a small group of rich men with geo-poitical ends". They are a large and extremely dangerous group that needs to be exterminated for the vermin they are. [Edited on 7/7/2005]
