BTW there are 10 more pages of links like the above.

I knew the CIA was good at covert ops. I didnt realise they were so good that some people continue to disbelieve their actions (I am not even saying they were wrong) even after publication after publication has given details and no one has denied them.

Here's an article in LA TIMES

latimes.com
During the 1980s, the CIA worked through the Pakistani intelligence services to provide weapons, aid and billions of dollars to the moujahedeen guerrillas, according to several former CIA officials.

And here's one in BBC news

news.bbc.co.uk
The Afghan jihad was backed with American dollars and had the blessing of the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

He received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian.



And New York Times

A Man the West Could Use

In 1984, Mr. bin Laden moved to Peshawar, Pakistan, where he was known to some of the American and French agents who were intriguing to manipulate the Afghan cause to their countries' advantage. He also joined Abdullah Azzam, whose taped lectures had influenced him at the university, in forming Makhtab al Khadimat, a group that recruited and trained Muslim volunteers from Egypt, Algeria and other countries to fight in the Afghan war.

The Central Intelligence Agency was funneling arms and money to the mujahedeen, and some of the aid may have gone to the Makhtab al Khadimat. It was to play a major role in raising the concept of global holy war to a reality over the next decade, eventually becoming the organization known as Al Qaeda.
