Al-Qaeda terror organization was established by the C.I.A in the 1980s. Al-Qaeda is nothing but a conveniently "Islamic" front which enables the C.I.A. to commit crimes in the name of Muslims. It is well known that the Mujahadeen terrorists of Afghanistan were organized, trained and funded by the C.I.A. using the Pakistani ISI as a "cut-out" in order to lure the Soviet Army into Afghanistan at the end of 1979. A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program called "Operation Cyclone" is reportedly responsible for the creation of the terrorist group, when the CIA funded native Afghan militants in the conflict with the Soviet Union.

It is pretty damn sad that we essentially armed and trained those that would become our enemies.

Erm, the term Al Qaeda acually means 'the database'. The database was a list of former Mudjahadeen operatives compiled by the CIA who were in the employ of the CIA for many years. It doesn't exist as a singular entity to be frank, rather a group of affiliated radicals with their own splinter groups.
