We don’t know this. There are several wealthy nations that have produced many terrorists and several poor nations that have produced none. The most famous terrorist in history was a wealthy man from a wealthy nation.

Whom do you refer to as "the most famous terrorist in history"?
Considering that they mention his family wealth, I can only assume that they mean Osama bin Laden.

Why do that? If you mean to say something, go ahead and say it.
I knew with reasonable certainty who they were alluding to, so I didn’t read it as them being vague to be honest, more literary.
I had to look it up, and probably wasn’t the only one.
No.
