Specifically, how did the Soviet-Afghanistan war of 1979-1988 and the Second Persian Gulf war (Desert Storm 1991) lead to the rise of Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden?
The Soviet-Afghanistan war did. The CIA funded a lot of groups within Afghanistant in their fight against the Soviets including extreme muslims who would later go on to create Al Qaeda.
The reason people quote this war as what led to them is that they were funded and armed during this war, once this war was over they still had large amounts of money and weapons sitting idle and they put them to use fighting against those who they felt were against their religion.
Desert Storm had nothing to do with Al Qaeda although it did infuriate the Muslim communities in the area that the US was taking part in Middle eastern Politics, especially after the US diplomat told Iraq that the USA had no opinion on the Iraq/Kuwait border dispute.

The Afghanistan War is a direct result of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The attacks were caused by Al Qaeda terrorists, who were based in Afghanistan. The Taliban is a radical Islamic group and was the ruling government of Afghanistan at the time. The Taliban refused to allow the US and our allies into Afghanistan to capture or kill the Al Qaeda terrorists, so we declared war on them. We toppled the Taliban regime and nearly crushed Al Qaeda when the Bush administration pushed for the invasion of Iraq. However, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have recovered over the years while our government has been pre-occupied with Iraq. That pretty much sums up why we are fighting in Afghanistan and why we are still fighting there after 7 years.
