      The international mujahadeen movement was born in Saudi Arabia; funded by Saudi Arabia; created out of a quasi death cult of islam called Wahabism founded in Saudi Arabia; bin Laden was a major figure in Saudi politics and society and from one of the richest, non-Royal families in the country; almost all the members of Al-Queda were Saudi.

      If Saudi foreign policy and money created the mujahadeen, then they are Saudi.

      Typically, when people refer to a country by name in this manner, such as “Saudi Arabia”, they are referring to the government/ruling class of that country, not the people as a whole. The Bin Laden family had demonstrable ties to the royal family of Saudi Arabia.

          Yes, in reference to “Saudi Arabia”, which refers to their government

          I added the comma for clarification, but that’s what was said

          They didn’t say “the people of Saudi Arabia did 9/11”
