"U.S. and Yemeni investigators have said they suspect the attack might have been orchestrated by Al Qaeda, the organization headed by bin Laden"

Just poke around a bit and I'm sure you could find one too.

Where's my cookie?

Ya, I just found that one myself, it's kind of close to January 2001 (refering to that court case where the US wanted to prosecute bin Laden for some embassy bombings). But well, ok, here ya go:


EDIT: Found another one in October of 2000.

Ok, so I found three articles about al Qaeda in 2000, earliest one in October, but nothing before that, not yet at least.


New Challenge
The person who finds a article containing the word "al Qaeda" refering to the "international terrorist network" dated in early 2000 or before, will get my "Way Above" vote, AND then I will shut up about this.

U.S. charges bin Laden, aide with murder in Africa bombings
State Department offers $5 million reward
November 4, 1998
Web posted at: 7:12 p.m. EST (0012 GMT)
NEW YORK (CNN) -- The United States formally charged Saudi-born millionaire Osama bin Laden and a military aide with murder Wednesday, in a federal indictment blaming them for the deadly twin attacks on American embassies in East Africa.

The 238-count indictment, returned in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, accuses bin Laden and his alleged military chief, Muhammad Atef, of plotting and carrying out the attacks in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on August 7, 1998. Those blasts killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and injured thousands more.

Both men are fugitives, and the State Department is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to their capture. If found and convicted, both men could face the death penalty.

Reputed leader of group that killed Sadat indicted in embassy blasts

Khaled al-Fawwaz
June 17, 1999
Web posted at: 12:13 a.m. EDT (0413 GMT)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The reputed leader of the terrorist organization that killed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was indicted Wednesday on conspiracy charges in last year's U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.

The indictments of Ayman al-Zawahiri and another defendant, Khaled al-Fawwaz raise to 15 the number of people charged in last August's bombings that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans in Kenya.

Al-Zawahiri is believed to be in Afghanistan with the suspected mastermind of the bombings, Saudi exile Osama bin Laden.

Prosecutors charge that al-Zawahiri merged his outlawed Egyptian group, Al-Jihad, with bin Laden's terrorist organization, al Qaeda, in February 1998 to oppose non-Islamic governments with force and violence.

It's not that Al-Qaeda didn't exist, it's that they didn't do anything dramatic enough pre-9/11 to really be noticed by Joe Public. The idea that Al-Qaeda was unheard of before 9/11 is an example of what it takes for people to notice problems.
