Actually, there's no evidence that the CIA worked with anyone outside of the Afghan mujahideen (which doesn't include Bin Laden, as he was a foreigner).

Both Ayman al-Zawahiri and Osama Bin Laden himself have both said that they received no help from the US in the fight against the Soviets, though it's certainly possible that they'd want to distance themselves even if they had.

And CIA is touchy about working with "foreigners"?

Yesterday as I was picking the links for "CIA Osama connection" I watched how one of CIA men was talking of meeting Osama in Afghanistan... It was interesting...
