Question

how would al-qaeda have been affected if the taliban had not supported it?
○ it would not have had osama bin laden as its leader.
○ it would not have developed a strong base in afghanistan.
○ it would not have been motivated to attack the united states.
○ it would not have had the funding to commit terrorist attacks.

Explanation:

The Taliban provided al-Qaeda with safe haven, territory, and operational space in Afghanistan, which allowed the group to establish and solidify a strong base there. Osama bin Laden's leadership was independent of Taliban support, al-Qaeda's anti-U.S. predation predated Taliban backing, and the group had alternative funding sources outside Taliban support.

Answer:

It would not have developed a strong base in Afghanistan.
