I'm not sure I understand the relation between Bin Laden and the other group.

You don't understand the relation between one set of jihadists and another that are funded by the CIA to fight their adversaries?

The US funded bin Laden to weaken the USSR, and the US (and Israel and possibly the UK) funded al-Julani to weaken Syria. The US does this a lot.
