""The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU – also called Islamic Movement of Turkestan – IMT) was formed in Tajikistan - with the help from the local authorities and, also importantly, with the Russian army and border guards keeping an eye on the process", the former members of the IMU living in Iran said to the Ferghana.ru journalists."
I still believe that the PLO was a Soviet created terror group and that Radical Islam was designed as a tool by the Communists to wipe out Democracy. I think what the Soviets didn't see was the genie being let out of the bottle with no way to cork it.
Ultimately the Soviets figured that the final battle would be between Marxism and Radical Islam.

There is no question that the PLO was set up by the KGB. Or more acurately by the Romanian counterpart of the KGB acting as proxy for the KGB. The former head of this organization is Ion Pacepa, who defected awhile back and has decribed his role in the creation of the PLO back in 1964. He was very familiar with Arafat, Arafat's homosexual behavior, etc.
