Following a White House briefing Tuesday morning regarding reports that Russia offered bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. military personnel, House Democrats renewed their call for an all-Member briefing from the intelligence community – “so we’d have direct evidence and discussion from intelligence community into how credible they assess the information.”
Operation Cyclone [Wikipedia] was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and finance the mujahedeen (jihadists) in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989, prior to and during the military intervention by the USSR in support of its client, the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.
The mujahedeen were also supported by Britain's MI6, who conducted separate covert actions.
If this happened or didn't you can't look at one and ignore the other.
