::''I left Egypt with enormous popular and official support which was only appreciated later with shock by the regime. All the procedures were legal when I left in the middle of 1985, went to Jeddah and from there to Pakistan where I worked as a doctor with the Mujahedin, Zawahri said. When he settled in Peshawar he established, with Bin Laden's financial help, Al-Qa'ida (the base) to host Arab volunteers. The first and most active group that went to Afghanistan was made up of Adli Youssef, Ali Abdel-Fattah and Mohamed El-Islambouli who moved on after his stopover in Jeddah. "They all went to Peshawar via Saudi Arabia and played a leading role in organising the Arab-Afghan groups," an Islamist defendant said. When Zawahri managed to convince Bin Laden to establish Al-Qa'ida, Jihad members from a variety of Arab states came to have a hostel of their own.'' AL AHRAM WEEKLY, "The Afghan connection" April 14, 1994:
 
:: ''In 1985, he went to Saudi Arabia where he worked in a hospital. It was during this period that he met Osama Bin Laden, who established Al-Qa'ida, a base for volunteers en route from Egypt to Afghanistan.''
 
::Also see the State Department Report "US lists Saudi businessman as extremist sponsor." Carol Giacomo August 1996 Reuters News. This is in the Summer of 2006, and mentions Bin Laden's organization by name. The [[Jamal al Fadl]] states he began talking to U.S. intelligence in December of 2006. Cleary, the term Al Qaida had been in use some years prior to al Fadl, and the U.S. government itself had been using the term before al-fadl. And WELL before the 2008 Clinton Executive order which is still mistakenly blazing on the front page of the article.
