It was one of two large Buddha statues in the Bamiyan valley, but they were destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban.
Wasn't that al Qaeda?
Yes. The two were allied closely enough, however, that the anti-Taliban leader Ahmad Shah Massoud got wind of the plans from spies placed in the Taliban (he relayed a warning to the US, which was ignored - Massoud would be assassinated by Al-Qaeda two days before 9/11), and the Taliban would subsequently offer asylum to Osama Bin Laden in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
Depends on who you ask and when you ask it.
