I purchased a book shortly after 9-11 entitled "Osama Bin Laden- the man who declared war on America". It was published in 1999, and amazingly did not contain one reference to the name "al Qaeda" in all the discussions of radical Islamist groups Bin Laden was involved with. He really did have connections throughout the Muslim world to jihadists following specific fatwahs to kill Americans and their allies, issued by a few Muslim clerics in 1998. He considered the presence of foreign troops in Saudi Arabia as a major affront to Islam.
