Former British Foreign Secretary: Al Qaeda is Not a Real Group, Just a
U.S. Propaganda Campaign

Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook says:
The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al
Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a
propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an
identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV
watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against
terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US. Cook has
previously written:
Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of
the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help
from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Cook is merely confirming what
others have said. Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski
told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical
narrative".
And see this Los Angeles Times Article, reviewing a BBC documentary
entitled "The Power of Nightmares", which shows that the threat from Al
Qaeda has been vastly overblown (and see this article on the people
within the U.S. who are behind the hype).
Not only has the U.S. government hyped Al Qaeda, but it has issued
numerous fake terror alerts to scare people.
There is a word for intentionally creating fear in order to manipulate
opinion for political ends: terrorism.
