When was People's Mujahedin of Iran created?
People's Mujahedin of Iran was created on 1965-09-05.
What role did the Mujahedin play in the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan?
The Mujahedin were the main rebel group opposed to the Soviets and their puppet government in Kabul.
Why did the US support the mujaheddin in Afghanistan during the 1980?
The Afghan Mujahedin were the most organized and successful resistance fighting against the Soviet Union and the spread of Communism in Afghanistan. Since the US was opposed to such advancement, it supported the Mujahedin. When the Soviet threat departed, the US stopped supporting the Mujahedin. The quick break between these two groups alienated Osama bin Laden, the leader of the Mujahedin, who then decided to organize the remaining Mujahedin into an organization designed to take down the US, al-Qaeda.
Who saved Afghanistan from the Russians?
The US financially and militarily supported the Mujahedin rebels in the 1980s against the Soviet Occupation. In the 2000s, the US would actively route the Mujahedin after the tragedy of 9/11 which was coordinated by former members of the Mujahedin who had formed the terrorist organization called al-Qaeda.

Which group helped the training of terrorists like al-qaeda inside Afghanistan?
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.
