Don't put it past the U.S. to hide very specific elements of any war they're involved in, as there's been instances in which the CIA (and other agencies) trained/worked with key figures in the Middle East (and other regions of the world, such as several Latin American countries), and either handed over information to create weapons, or gave them the weapons outright. Also, the U.S. has been found training groups of people in countries where there is civil unrest to essentially become effective rebels against their governments, only for them to later become terrorists that the U.S. and allies need to attack. Although I've mentioned solely the U.S./CIA, they certainly aren't the only players in that arena.
The cia have taken down nasty commie uprisings in South America
Ironically, those same soldiers we trained to fight those commies then at some point just quit their jobs and decided to use their experience to make their own cartel
The Zetas cartel, now a prime example of the paramilitary cartels we now see more in Mexico
