It's believed Prince Salman collected funds to support the Mujahideen - of whom Osama Bin Laden was a famous figure - to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980's.

According to Yossef Bodansky, who wrote 'bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America': 'Salman maintained clandestine contacts with bin Laden on behalf of Riyadh to channel Saudi support for Islamist jihads worldwide.'

Between 1998 and 2003, he also headed a committee which funded the Palestinian Mujahideen around £53 million, according to the book Understanding Islamic Charities - edited by John Alterman and Karin Von Hippel.

Pro-Israeli groups went through financial transactions to conclude the Popular Committee for Assisting the Palestinian Mujahideen gave the country an estimated £2.4billion during that time.

Yes, most of the Muslim world, West and world as a whole supported the Mujahideen in the 1980's during their war agains the Soviets. The same Soviets who had killed 3 million Afghan civilians and had occupied Afghanistan. A Muslim country. Nobody back then, not even the US that supported the Mujahideen too among many others, knew what OBL and his likes would do almost 20 years later.

OBL lost his Saudi Arabian (he was half Yemeni and half Syrian actually - only born in KSA) passport in 1994. Long before any Al-Qaeda attack. He was stateless from 1994 until his death in 2011.

9/11 has nothing to do with all of that.

His history suggest he is comfortable with the murky world of terrorism and sees it as an strategic asset. Still he is old and is possibly suffering from some form of mental deficiency (making him relatiely harmless). Not the best material to be king. Just my opinion based on available info.
