Secret C.I.A. Fund Adds Millions to al-Qaeda Coffers –'God blessed us with a good amount of money this month,' Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, al-Qaeda's general manager, wrote in a letter to Osama bin Laden in June 2010. [No, not God. The CIA.] | 14 March 2015 | In the spring of 2010, Afghan officials struck a deal for $5 million to free an Afghan diplomat held hostage by al-Qaeda [incontrovertably, *al-CIAduh*]. They first turned to a secret fund that the Central Intelligence Agency bankrolled with monthly cash deliveries to the presidential palace in Kabul, according to several Afghan officials involved in the episode. The C.I.A.'s contribution to al-Qaeda's bottom line, though, was no well-laid trap. It was just another in a long list of examples of how the United States…has sometimes inadvertently financed the very militants it is fighting.
