That statement is incorrect. Michael Scheuer the former head of the Bin Laden unit at the CIA gave these reasons in the CIA report.
The ability to control the price of oil
Unqualified support for Israel
Presence on the Arabian Peninsula
Military presence in Muslim countries
Support for governments that are viewed across the world as oppressing Muslims - Russia in Chechnya, India in Kashmir
Fifty year plus support of Arab police states and Tyrannies
