In 1979 President Carter authorized $500 million to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and destabilize the Soviet Union.” That is where the name “Taliban” came up, because the CIA [operated under] Operation Cyclone [which] poured $4 billion into the “setting up of Islamic training schools in Pakistan.” Taliban means student. In addition some of these young zealots were brought to a CIA training camp in Virginia, where members of al-Qaeda were taught “sabotage” skills."
