  9. In approximately 1989, bin Laden and Muhammad Atef founded "Al Qaeda, an international terrorist group ... which was dedicated to opposing non-Islamic governments with force and violence." One of the principal goals of Al Qaeda was to drive the United States armed forces out of Saudi Arabia (and elsewhere on the Saudi Arabian peninsula) and Somalia by violence. Jihad is the Arabic for what can be variously translated as "struggle" or "effort," or "to strive," "to exert," "to fight," depending on the context. In the West, the word is generally understood to mean "holy war," and the terms are given, inaccurately, exclusively military connotations.
