Saudi Arabia is one, no doubt.

The government of Saudi Arabia (and if so, who in the  Saudi government? It's quite large...), or private citizens who happened to live in Saudi Arabia? And if so, did they knowingly support Al-Qaeda operatives?

15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals, but who's to say that Saudi government officials knew precisely what they were up to while in the US?

Also...one possible reason-in addition to the obvious economic and military interests-why the US government has not wanted to antagonize the Saudis (even though they are an incredibly oppressive regime, and even though  much of the current and historical terrorist threat to American interests does come from sources within the KSA) is because doing so runs the risk of increasing the support of groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS from Muslims around the world.

The best gift the United States and its allies could give to Islamic terrorists would be to directly attack the KSA (If you thought that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq had that very effect, just imagine the global response to an American attack on the kingdom where Mecca and Medina are located!)
