This film makes the interesting claim Al-Qaeda is the name of a CIA database for the Mujahideen. The documentary Zero shown on Russian prime-time TV (according to RussiaToday) states this information originally came from Robin Cook:

Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally “the database”, was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians.[14]
