Sort of. The Mujahaddin were  lose knit groups that fought the soviets during their occupation of Afghanistan. OBL went to Afghanistan to join the Mujahaddin and fight Russians. We, the US , gave military and financial support to these groups until the war ended. Then our aid stopped and the Mujahaddin turned on each other. OBL had established relations with the Taliban that eventually took control of the country and the Taliban eventually hosted OBL and Al Qaida in their country.
