That is demonstrably false. You are confusing AQ with the Mujahideen and later, Northern Alliance.

AQ were forged during the Gulf War when Coalition Troops used Saudi Arabia as a staging ground before liberating Kuwait.

It was this embarassment and shame which bolstered Bin Laden.

AQ and the Taliban and Northern Alliance hated each other and still do. It was AQ who assassinated the Lion of Panjshir.

The Taliban were a result of lawlessness in the Pashtun region after the vacuum left by the Soviets.
