Bill Moyers on the Origins of Al Qaeda

from pbs.org

Comment from the contributor:

From PBS --Bill Moyers takes a look into the roots and motivations of Al Qaeda, from its beginnings during the invasion of the Soviet Union to the 9/11 bombings in America. Even now, while operating underground, Al Qaeda continues to be a group that garners attention, and to their credit, should not be ignored
