A Saudi Arabian youth organization named " Infographic KSA " uploaded an image to Twitter on 6 August of a passenger plane flying towards the CN Tower in the skyline of Toronto . It was widely perceived as a threat of a terrorist attack by western media as an allusion to the September 11 attacks in which 15 of the 19 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia . The group immediately deleted the post and released a public apology to " those who were offended " , explaining that the picture was not meant to represent a terrorist attack and was instead meant to symbolize Canadian ambassador Dennis Horak 's flight back to Canada . The Ministry of Culture and Information of Saudi Arabia launched an investigation into the incident and ordered the group to suspend its Twitter account
