The fact of the matter is that the jihadist movement is a creation of US intelligence, which has also led to the development of ‘political Islam’. While the role of the CIA in support of the Islamic jihad is amply documented, there is also evidence that the FBI has covertly equipped and incited would be terrorists within the US. The CIA’s agenda starting in the late 1970s was to recruit and train jihadist ‘freedom fighters’ (Mujahideen) to wage ‘a war of liberation’ directed against the pro-Soviet secular government of Afghanistan.”
