Yes, it is true that he was a member of al Qaeda. He wanted to join the Taliban's fight against the "Northern Alliance". Under Taliban law a foreigner could not be a member of the Taliban Army. al Qeada provided forces to fight against the "Northern Alliance", thus Walker joined the al Qeada to be a part of the forces assigned to fight against the "Northern Alliance".
At the time the Taliban was not considered to be an enemy of the United States, in fact we were still providing them with aid up until 9/11 and if I recall correctly we sent them another aid package of some amount in October. I might add that the "Northern Alliance" was not considered by the USA to be a friend at the time. In fact we had labled them as being "drug dealers".
How much he knew about the al Qaeda, and it being deemed a terroist organization by the USA in 1999, before he joined the al Qaeda to be trained to fight against the "Northern Alliance", I do not know.
