Most of the large attacks from Al Qaeda are about money. Think about the airlines and how much money was lost. The world trade centers was about money more than loss of life. If they hit a mall it is about creating fear so that people won't shop. Fear is the key. How many elderly people if they read this would draw their money out of the bank? Just hearing about this would effect the stock market even if it doesn't occur. And lets not even dwell on the amount of money that has been spent trying to prevent attacks or the money spent in our wars in Afganistan and Iraq. I believe the wars were necessary but I also think of the good the money could have accomplished at home for social services instead of war.
