Operation Cyclone : Reagan and the Mujahideen
Photo : President Reagan meeting with Afghan mujahideen (the term for one enraged in Jihad) leaders in the Oval Office in 1983, one of them a woman. Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken. More than $20 billion in U.S. funds was funneled to arm and finance the Jihadi warriors, mujahideen, in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldhistory2/chapter/the-united-states-and-the-mujahideen/.
