Answer:

Al- Qaeda

Step-by-step explanation:

The origin of Al-Qaeda began with the involvement of Soviet Russia in Afghanistan. America saw it as a threat to Soviet involvement and started giving support to the Afghan Islamic militants to fight the Soviets (military). The United States CIA introduced an Operation Cyclone, which supplied arms and finance. With the withdrawal of the Soviet from Afghanistan, led to the rise of the Afghan mujahideen.
