I've been wondering why the World Trade Center have been the target of multiple terrorist attacks. It was almost like a magnet for high profile terrorist attacks.
I mean why not try for the Sears Tower or the Prudential Tower?
I'm not trying to endorse what these wackos did by any streach of the imagination. I just want to know what they had against these two nondescript office buildings.

the wtc were pretty much the nerve of our finacial center with the exception of all of wall street. you destroy the wtc you destroy our finacial symbol, you kill lots of people, and demoralize a city/country because when people think new york you think world trade centers they were supposed to be invincible. they werent supposed to be brought down by a bounch of animals like they were on sept 11. but thats their reasoning behind it all. as for LAX it;s one of the worlds busiest airports and probally the biggest airport west of the mississippi.

Almost everyone in the world knows the WTC, but not everyone knows the Sears tower and the Prudential tower. In the US they may be very well known, but outside the US these towers have little meaning.

Because
1. Its in the US
2. Its the centre of world trade
3. More cynically - there were two. The first crash might not get live global TV coverage but 20 minutes later, hey presto, the worlds media have arrived, so lets do it again live. Now that takes a sick mind. So sad.

The WTC's are a symbol of wealth, power and prestige of america. It's as simple as that.
