The Taliban government in Afghanistan supported global terrorism. Specifically, the Taliban provided a safe haven for Al Qaeda and refused to turn over Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks.
However, going back to the early 1980's, the US was involved with arming and financing the Mujaheddin, an Islamist guerrilla force that fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The US involvement was based on the "enemy of my enemy" philosophy of the Cold War.
