Frankenstein the CIA created

Mujahideen trained and funded by the US are among its deadliest foes, reports Jason Burke in Peshawar
Sunday January 17, 1999

<snip>Some have returned to former battlegrounds, like the university-educated Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, a key figure in the Egyptian al-Jihad terrorist group. Al-Zawahiri ran his own operation during the Afghan war, bringing in and training volunteers from the Middle East. Some of the $500 million the CIA poured into Afghanistan reached his group. Al-Zawahiri has become a close aide of bin Laden and has now returned to Afghanistan to work with him. His al-Jihad group has been linked to the Yemeni kidnappers. snip

Other members of al-Quaeda remain overseas. Afghan veterans now linked to bin Laden have been traced by investigators to Pakistan, East Africa, Albania, Chechnya, Algeria, France, the US and Britain.

At least one of the kidnappers in Yemen was reported to have fought in Afghanistan and to be linked to al-Quaeda. Despite reports that bin Laden was effectively funded by the Americans, it is impossible to gauge how much American aid he received. He was not a major figure in the Afghan war. Most American weapons, including Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, were channelled by the Pakistanis to the Hezb-i-Islami faction of the mujahideen led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. snip

But according to one American official, concentrating on bin Laden is a mistake. 'The point is not the individuals,' he said last week. 'The point is that we created a whole cadre of trained and motivated people who turned against us. It's a classic Frankenstein's monster situation.'

2. Do you know of a date certain when all funding ended or just general?

I am looking for a date certain if one is known.

3. The CIA never releases a budget so maybe he is still on the payroll?

We would have no way of knowing.

5. Something tells me that we are still funding these people covertly

this cabal in the white house are reaping fortunes from this. And I'm not just talking about the money, I'm talking about the overthrow of our system of governing. As it stands today an outsider would not be able to recoginize our government as it written. The coup is in process and time is wasting.

6. I agree with you. And just let some prick call me a tin-hat for thinking it

We paid them before but we don't do it no more? Yea, sure I will say to them.

7. As my mother would say expect the worst and never be disappointed

if the misadmin denies something, they're guilty, as * talks about all the wrong things someone else is doing, he is doing it himself. The worst kind of a person to be in any position that would allow themselves the idea that they have power is now the preznit. Help us
