Al-Qaeda congress
Time: Tuesday Jun 23, 1998
Place: Afghanistan
Details: Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri organized an al-Qaeda congress on June 24, 1998. A week prior to the beginning of the conference, a group of well-armed assistants to al-Zawahiri had left by jeeps in the direction of Herat. Following the instructions of their patron, in the town of Koh-i-Doshakh, they met three unknown Slavic-looking men who had arrived from Russia via Iran. After their arrival in Kandahar, they split up. One of the Russians was directly escorted to al-Zawahiri and he did not participate in the conference.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
