No, but they are quite likely to have also seperately approached him and run a bombing using him.
LOONEY CONSPIRACY THEORY
But, they have done exactly that a large number of times in the past.
1993 World Trade Centre bombing.

FBI involvement
In the course of the trial it was revealed that the FBI had an
informant, a former
Egyptian army officer named
Emad Salem. Salem claims to have informed the FBI of the plot to bomb the towers as early as February 6, 1992. Salem's role as informant allowed the FBI to quickly pinpoint the conspirators out of hundreds of possible suspects.
Salem, initially believing that this was to be a
sting operation, claimed that the FBI's original plan was for Salem to supply the conspirators with a harmless powder instead of actual explosive to build their bomb, but that the FBI chose to use him for other purposes instead. He secretly recorded hundreds of hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handlers.

This next item is from Slate, it's actually saying how dangerous it is out there and how you should all be thankful you have the FBI to protect you.
Quite ironic really .
The FBI is constantly tracking bomb plots. If you look at the bureau’s most recent cases—the ones in which it has announced investigations, arrests, indictments, convictions, or sentences since the beginning of 2012—you’ll discover that during this time frame, Boston is the 21st case involving explosives. And when you study these cases, you realize how lucky we’ve been. The next Boston may not be far behind.
Three of the 20 previous cases involved
car bombs. All were inoperative, thanks to prior infiltration by law enforcement.
This seems to be how we infiltrated and disarmed those plots, except for the underwear bomber. We’re plugged in to the jihadist network. Of the 12 remaining cases, one was an
AWOL soldier, which presumably made him a hunted man. Another was a
bush-league pipe-bomb maker, apparently for hire. Another was a
bunch of anarchists who discussed their scheme with one person too many. We were in on those plots, too.

Therefore, as stated, the FBI, using stunning skills, has managed to infultrate every terror plot in the US. Outstanding work really, they should get a reward.
So, given they have a 100% success rate, given that the Russians told them 2 years ago about them, given that they have spoken to them previously.
You do, after all have a never ending 'War on Terror
tm' so you do need the odd bit of terror to keep the system going.
