Can you tell me about the history of terrorist group Al Qaeda?
<|assistant|>
Al Qaeda is a militant Islamist organisation founded by Osama bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam in 1988. It is considered to be responsible for a number of terrorist attacks around the world, including the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001. Al Qaeda is also believed to have been responsible for numerous bombings, shootings, and assassination attempts within Islamic countries and against Western interests. The aim of Al Qaeda is to establish a global Islamist state and wage jihad against all non-believers and non-Muslims, particularly those from Western countries. As a result of continued pressure from the US and its allies, many of Al Qaeda's senior operatives have been killed or captured in the past two decades.
