Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Two Mosques (Arabic: القاعدة في بلاد الحرمين; al-qā'ida fī bilād al-ḥaramayn; AQBH), simply called al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, was the Saudi Arabian regional branch of al-Qaeda. It was founded shortly after the September 11 attacks, and dissolved in 2009 after it merged with al-Qaeda in Yemen to form al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
