Best Answer

Yes. During Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, the CIA assisted the Afghan Mujahedin in their guerrilla war against the Soviets. Osama bin Laden was one of the key Mujahedin leaders and helped facilitate weapons transfers with the CIA. Following the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the United States and CIA also ceased assisting Osama bin Laden and Mujahedin.

Why did Osama bin Laden choose to start Al-Qaeda?

Osama Bin Laden started Al Qadea to oppose the soviet occupation of Afghanistan during the 1980s. It was originally a jihad against the USSR supported by the CIA. After the soviets withdrew and the Saudis allowed the US to use bases in Saudi Arabia against Saddam Hussein in the first gulf war, he perceived this as sacrilege because Saudi Arabia was home to Mecca and Medina the two holiest sites in Islam and the Saudi Royals allowed the US non Muslim "infidels" onto holy land, he then saw the US to be a new threat as the soviet one faded away and redirected al qadea against the US and her allies in the middle east.
