Yes and the taliban had literally nothing to do with that. The Taliban was created in the early 90s after the end of the Soviet-Afghan war and the end of operation cyclone. The Pakistani intel agency ISI created the group to further their own interest in the chaos of the civil war after the soviets pulled out. Do your homework, the CIA had nothing to do with them or Al-Qaeda for that matter.
No it isnt. Mujahideen is just a very general word. Its like saying "freedom fighters" or "Rebel guerillas" and thinking this means a specific group. The Taliban on the other hand is not a general term and is a very specific group. And islamic militia formed by the Pakistani ISI during the civil war in Afghanistan.
In either case, they were formed after the soviet-afghan war and had nothing to do with the CIA or Operation Cyclone. If you want a good book suggestion on this, read 'Ghost Wars'
foreign nationals more than likely just means arabs. The CIA has nothing to do with the Taliban.
