A saudi terrorist was killed by saudi terrorists in a saudi embassy. So what? It's none of the US's concern.

He represented the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood vs Saudi Wahhabism. The former advocates liberation from foreign imperialism and the alliance of Middle Eastern countries under one faith and the latter is supported by Saudi petrodollars and Two Holy Mosques. Both are Salifist groups and exemplify Sunni forms of the Islamic faith, however the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to unify the middle east. As between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Wahhabis, the Muslim Brotherhood is the more moderate. Wahhabism is less founded in Islamic scripture than on the highly conservative teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab - IOW it is the most fundamentalist and puritanical form of Islam and the utter enemy of the Sharia sect.
It's the US's concern because Saudi Arabia is a both US ally and one of the nations where the US maintains military bases and sells billions of dollars in arms.

After all, consider the Muslim Brotherhood’s slogan: “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law; the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”
I'm interested Dr. Who. As you seem to be quite learned on this topic. I've educated myself on the events on 9-11 over the years, was the MB involved in the attacks on 9-11-01?

MB is generally seen as the politics behind ME terrorist groups and implicated in funnelling funds to these organizations. MB in America have been implicated in the Islamist network that assisted the 9-11 terrorists. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, considered the principal architect of the 9-11 attacks, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda and it is said that Bin Laden had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
