How does evidence shape Al-Qaeda?

Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Al-Qaeda by focusing on Part two: The war on Al-Qaeda. Use the chronology of BE Conflict and tension in the Gulf and Afghanistan, 1990-2009, select named evidence connected to Study Al-Qaeda, including its aims, Osama bin Laden and the 11 September attacks, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 1 Section B: Wider world depth studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: The war on Al-Qaeda. The evidence should connect to Study Al-Qaeda, including its aims, Osama bin Laden and the 11 September attacks and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
