Original Note:
There is no credible evidence that Osama Bin Laden was ever a CIA agent. This misconception may arise from the U.S. support of Afghan mujahideen in the 1980s through Operation Cyclone, aimed at countering Soviet forces. Bin Laden used his oen networks to pursue his objectives. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/nov/03/afghanistan-us-soviet-invasion
