It could be said distantly that the US CIA assisted in the training of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, but this is overly simplistic.

From 1979 to 1989, when Afghanistan was the site of war between a Soviet Communist puppet regime and the Jihadist Mujahedin rebels, the US CIA supported and trained the Mujahedin as a way to overcome the Soviets. However, when the Soviets withdrew in 1989, the US ceased all support to the Mujahedin. In the post-victory environment, the Mujahedin consolidated and used their remaining US-given monetary resources and the training that they had received to create the al-Qaeda Organization in Afghanistan. Since the founding of al-Qaeda to the present (excluding errors of judgment in Syria in 2012), the US has not provided funds to the organization nor has it provided any new training materials.

What countries helped us during 911?

It's not practical to list pretty close to every nation on earth that's at war with terrorists. Even Iraq & Afghanistan aren't to comfortable with terrorists. During the actual attack, the US was offered assistance by many nations.
