In December 1996, while trying to meet with the Chechen jihadists, Zawahiri was arrested by the Russians. Zawahiri was let go in May 1997 -with all his possessions—and allowed to meet up with Ibn al-Khattab (a.k.a. Samir Saleh Abdullah as-Suwailem), a Saudi who was a leading figure in the Chechen jihad. Not long after that, in February 1998, Zawahiri issued a fatwa with Osama bin Laden declaring war on the United States, which set al-Qaeda on the road to 9/11. https://kyleorton1991.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/russian-intelligence-and-the-war-in-syria/
