ISIS was again funded along with Al Qaeda (and other terrorist groups) by the CIA to fight Assad initially. One of the reasons why ISIS did so well in taking over Iraq, is because the US had created an extremely unstable country when then they overthrew Saddam Hussein in an illegal war (Saddam was a key ally of the US for decades, also funded by the CIA). The Taliban often confused with the Mujahideen (the latter who were funded by the CIA), were themselves born out of the Mujahideen, so yes they were funded by the CIA.
