They didn't aim for a symbol. They aimed at innocent civilians involved in a daily routine.


"But it was the symbol we were after...really!"


Actually, I viewed them as having two aims. One was yes, quite obviously, to kill people.

But the other one, and possibly more important, even, was their aim to undermine us, scare us, terrorize us into feeling less secure, less safe, much more vulnerable...

Unfortunately, both aims worked.
