Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Al Qaeda became dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia when it invited U.S. troops in to defend the Kingdom in 1991. This was viewed by Al Qaeda as a betrayal of the Islamic faith and a violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty. Osama bin Laden, the founder of Al Qaeda, publicly criticized the Saudi government for its relationship with the United States and called for the removal of U.S. troops from Saudi soil. This was a major catalyst for bin Laden's anti-American sentiment and the eventual formation of Al Qaeda.
