This document is a page from a legal opinion (In re: TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001) detailing the origins of al-Qaeda. It describes how Osama bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam established the organization from the infrastructure of the Afghan jihad, utilizing a financial network known as the 'Golden Chain' comprised of various Islamic charities. The text also outlines specific fatwas issued by Bin Laden between 1992 and 1998 declaring war on the United States. While the document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, the content on this specific page relates entirely to terrorism financing and history, with no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein.
