AS was funded by AQ when Osama was alive - $ 40.00 monthly per head. AS created fake soldiers to collect more $. When Osama croaked Zawahiri cut off the monthly $ as he thought AS was a common criminal and not a Jihadi. AS had to prove their cred by slaughtering more tourists. 
They did. 

AQ was C_A, and downstream orgs like AS are also.
