Psst he was replaced by Ayman al-Zawahiri the current Al - Qaeda leader who is still very much alive and has pulled off attacks in Libya, Iraq,and Afghanistan and of course has fighters in with the rebels in Syria the ones we keep talking about arming you might try getting all the facts next time.
Oh, yeah, I forgot -- bin Laden was the very LAST member of AQ.
Are you truly this stupid? Ayman al-Zawahiri was second in command of Al-Qaeda behind only Bin Laden when Bin Laden was killed Zawahiri became the new Al-Qaeda leader and has been the leader ever since and is to this day your lack of knowledge is truly astounding.

Trying this again? You only look more foolish day by day.
The Taliban (which means students) started in the 90's.

And don't give me that bullshit that others have tried that you can "trace back the origins" because if you want to play that idiotic left wing game, well then the Taliban and everyone else on the planet can trace back their origins to Adam and Eve.
Rise of the Taliban
In reaction to the warlordism prevalent in the country, and the lack of Pashtun representation in the Kabul government, a movement arose called the Taliban.
Many Taliban had been educated in madrasas in Pakistan and were largely from rural Pashtun backgrounds.
This group was made up of mostly Pashtuns that dedicated itself to removing the warlords, providing law and order, and imposing the strict Islamic Sharia law on the country.
In 1994 it developed enough strength to capture the city of Kandahar from a local warlord and proceeded to expand its control throughout Afghanistan, occupying Herat in September 1995, then Kabul in September 1996, and declaring the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (although there was no Emir).
By this time Afghanistan was in its 17th year of war. It had the highest infant, child and maternal mortality rates in Asia. An estimated 10 million landmines covered its terrain. Two-million refugees were in camps.
Pakistan recognized the Taliban as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan in 1997. By the end of 2000, the Taliban occupied about 95% of the country, limiting the opposition to a small corner in the northeast Panshir valley.
Efforts by the UN, prominent Afghans living outside the country, and other interested countries to bring about a peaceful solution to the continuing conflict came to nothing, largely because of intransigence on the part of the Taliban.
