The term "Al-Quaeda" has numerous sources, and it could have been correct
if you had noted that one of them appears to be how CIA intelligence
analysts referred to so-called "Muhadjeen" with which the CIA had formed
alliances including by financially and otherwise supporting them in
Afghanistan in the late-1970s and thereafter in connection with the Soviet
invasion and occupation of that benighted country.
However, it is also a term (somewhat variantly) used by many others, not
least by persons leading and affiliated with Al-Quaeda.
So, which party made the first use of the term Al Qaeda in the sense
of a hierarchical international terrorist organization -- the CIA, the
1993 WTC bombing prosecution, or those who claim to lead or be members
of Al Qaeda?
