The mujahideen were significantly financed, armed and trained by the United States which spawned Bin Laden, whom caused 9/11. Look up "blowback" sometime.

There is no question that the U.S. financed and armed Afghan mujahideen. I gather that there is a great deal of debate over whether the U.S. had anything at all to do with bin Laden or the other foreign fighters in Afghanistan.
