Russian secret agency FSB trained Al Qaeda's al-Zawahiri: Report:-
Moscow | July 17, 2005 4:27:25 PM IST

Russia's secret agency Federal Security Service (FSB), formerly known as KGB, had imparted militant training to Ayman-al-Zawahiri, the number two in the terrorist organisation Al Qaeda after chief Osama bin Laden.

The Dawn quoted a report in a Poland newspaper "Rzeczpospolita" that before deciding to join Osama, Zawahiri received terrorist training in 1998 at a FSB camp in Dagestan.

Thereafter, he shifted his base to Afghanistan to become Osama bin Laden's deputy, the paper quoted a former FSB agent as saying.

The agent also claimed that Zawahiri was not the only link between the FSB and Al Qaeda.

Zawahiri has been indicted for his alleged role in the August 7, 1998, bombings in the US Embassies, and also in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.

US State Department's "Rewards for Justice Program" has offered a reward of up to 25 million dollars for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Zawahiri

Born on June 19, 1951, Zawahiri is a prominent member of the al-Qaeda, and formerly headed the Egyptian Islamic Jihad paramilitary organization. Al-Zawahiri is a physician by trade and speaks Arabic, French, and some English.

In 1998 he formally merged Egyptian Islamic Jihad into al-Qaeda. According to reports by a former al-Qaida member, he has worked in the al-Qaida organization since its inception and was a senior member of the group's shura council. He is often described as a "lieutenant" to Osama. It is also assumed that al-Zawahiri serves as bin Laden's doctor as the latter reportedly suffers from a kidney disorder, possibly requiring dialysis. (ANI)

KGB trained Zawahiri, says former agent


WARSAW, July 16: Al Qaeda’s number two was trained by Russia’s secret service and served as a KGB agent before becoming Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man, a former KGB secret agent told Poland’s Rzeczpospolita newspaper on Saturday.

“Ayman al Zawahiri trained at a Federal Security Service (FSB, former KGB) base in Dagestan in 1998,” claimed ex-FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko, who fled Russia in 2000.

“He was then transferred to Afghanistan where he became Osama bin Laden’s deputy”, Mr Litvinenko told the newspaper.

“I was working in that section at the time and I can confirm the fact Zawahiri was not the only link between the FSB and Al Qaeda,” he said. —AFP

Dont think we created the Taliban. They didn't take over until 1995, 8 years or more after the Ruskies left. What we did was arm just about everyone who was breathing to fight Ivan. The political structure of the Taliban is courtesy of Pakistan's ISI - an attempt to control their neighbor and keep out Iranian influence.

BS, there was no Taliban yet.

They didn't emerge until years after the Russians left.

Pure nonsense and a bald-faced lie! Someone sat around and dreamed this fairy tale up. Al-Qaeda hates the Russians and the Russians feel the same way. This mutual hatred goes back to Afganistain, and al-Qaeda has been working against the Russians in Chechnya.

We helped lay the groundwork.

We helped create Saddam too.

Granted, it was the probably the best we could do under the pressures of the Cold War....

The bottom line is that Bush is the first president to finally free us from our Cold War foreign policy mindset. I hope his vision succeeds....there's alot at stake.
