Well, if MI6 has problems reaching conclusions based on the available intelligence, you really need to question how are your taxes spent.
The relevant organization is al-Qaeda in this case, btw.Your democratically-elected governments continuously perpetuate atrocities against my people all over the world. And your support of them makes you directly responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters. Until we feel security you will be our targets and until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people we will not stop this fight.
What have you witnessed now is only the beginning of a string of attacks that will continue and become stronger until you pull your forces out of Afghanistan and Iraq. And until you stop your financial and military support to America and Israel.
Here you have everything you need. The reason why, warning of future attacks, what to do to stop it and who to talk to about it.

It doesn't matter if he personally believes it or not. The second part of the quote was from Zawahiri, and added later. You have Al Qaeda planning the attack, recruiting the attackers, instructing them how to pull it off and probably giving the order to execute it. Then you have the then second-in-command, now leader of Al Qaeda explaining the political aspect.
It is not the issue of no political goal, it is that the political goal is unacceptable to the western countries.
