Gus > Who coined the name "Al-Qaeda" in the first place?

en.wikipedia.org

>>The name al-Qaida was coined by the United States government based on the name of a computer file of bin Laden's that listed the names of contacts he had made in Afghanistan, which talks about the organization as the "Qaida-al-Jihad" — the base of the jihad.
