Lets not forget that Osama Bin Laden was rather partial to the house of Saud until they spurned his offer to defend their country from Saddam with a bunch of Saudi criminals which had been sent to Afghanistan to die - er sorry - fight the soviets, in favour of a "proper" army supplied by Bush Snr.
Being somewhat mentally unstable (judging by the anecdote of a certain BBC journalist who Osama got rather upset over when no one would shoot him) Osama took it personally and turned against the Sauds.
Bad Osama, go sit in a cave... oh wait...
