You seem to be under the misapprehension that because they were Saudi, that the operated from Saudi Arabia. If you look into it, you will find that their organisation, which planned and coordinated the attacks, was actually based in Afghanistan. It was supported, trained and sponsored by the Taliban in Afghanistan and their associates, and was a multi national group. It was this hosting, support and sponsorship in Afghanistan that lead to the invasion.
- yucky 5y agoAre you conflating the Taliban with al-Qaeda?
- simonh 5y agoNo the organisation they belonged to, Al Qaeda, was supported trained and sponsored by the Taliban. In reality personnel, resources and information flowed freely between the two groups.
- yucky 5y agoI am aware that the Taliban provided safe harbor for al-Qaeda in the late 90's early 00's, but they are very different groups with different ideologies. For instance, the Taliban did not finance, nor carry out 9/11.
