9/11 Terrorists
Despite wanting to wash their hands of any involvement in the attacks on America on September 11th, 2001, Saudi Arabia can’t. The reason for this is that 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
The Yom Kippur War
During the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Saudi Arabia sent around 3,000 fighters to Syria to fight against Israel. Originally denying their involvement, Saudi Arabia’s armored cars that they sent were destroyed by the Israeli Army and put on display for the international community to see. Due to America’s backing of Israel during the conflict, Saudi Arabia started an oil embargo against USA.
