The victory in Afghanistan of the Mujahideen over the Soviet Union in 1989 gave Osama Bin Laden the inspiration for the creation of Al Qaeda because apparently large Western countries could be overcome. The situation in Afghanistan remained uneasy until 1994, when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan. They offered a safe haven for Al Qaeda, from which it launched and controlled all its operations, including the September 11 attacks.
