The Origin of the term al-Qaida The first use of al-Qaida in western media was in 1996 in an American newspaper report which identified it as another name of the Islamic Salvation Foundation, one of Bin Ladens jihadi charities. The term only came into general usage after the groups bombing of the US embassies in East Africa in 1998, when the FBI and CIA fingered it as an umbrella organisation for various projects of Bin Laden and his associates - many of which grew out of ideas originally hatched by Abdullah Azzam, whod been killed by a car-bomb in Peshawar in 1989. youtu.be/Dqn0bm4E9yw
