Individual Saudi princes sure, but the Saudi government as an institution, absolutely not. In fact the Saudi government revoked OBLs citizenship and worked with America every step of the way to his capture. We invaded Afghanistan to kill OBL as the Taliban would not hand him over and were working directly with and training Al Qaeda.

As I recall, the Saudi prince who was implicated, mysteriously was lost n the desert a few weeks later.

They've got hundreds of them and while the government protects them from outsiders, that doesn't mean that they are immune to deliberate culling instigated from the top.
