That the US had actively promoted the AQ and its chieftain Osama bin Laden to fight Soviet occupation (?) of Afghanistan is also just no news as much as the fact that Osama was killed by the US armed forces (Navy SEALs) by carrying out a surprise, and obviously illegal, air raid deep within Pakistani territory where he was living incognito, presumably under the protection of an important segment of the Pakistani state, being labelled as the mastermind of the 9/11.
Here is a fairly detailed, plausible, account of bin Laden: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden#Mujahideen_in_Afghanistan>.
