One of many reasons Al-Quaeda did it - OBL was angry that Saudi Arabia chose coalition armored divisions to oust Saddam from Kuwait in 1991, rather than his band of irregulars. Al-Quaeda had a LONG history of attacks on U.S. interests in the decade prior to 9-11. It was no surprise that he finally succeeded, and it was an intelligence failure on our part.
Very true. Just that leaves us to wonder, what was the reason of USA attacking IRAQ after 9/11 citing Saddam has relation with AL-Quaeda. AFAIK, Saddam was historical enemy of Al-Quaeda, OBL actually considered Saddam's secularist Bath party as bunch of kuffirs! IMO it's the biggest goof up US did in recent times.
