- dragontamer 5y agoSaudi Arabia cooperated with the USA after 9/11. Taliban harbored Al Qaeda and helped OBL reach Pakistan safely. There's a big difference. Saudi Arabia has to answer for creating and sponsoring the ultra-conservative Wahhabi-cult of Islam, but that's getting further removed from the fundamental issue of protecting the 9/11 planners _after_ 9/11 (aka: what the Taliban did)
- koheripbal 5y agoIndividual Saudis (and other gulf citizens) were the primary financial backers for Al-Quaeda. ...but the largest OUTFLOW of money from Al-Quaeda, a full 2/3rds of their annual budget was to fund the Taliban government - $20 million per year.
