They were surprised! They did not think the towers would collapse. If they had secondary targets they may have not been able to het to them.

They were surprised!
They got another suprise about a month later when bombs started falling.
I remember reading that Osama was still busy with construction/improvements
on his terrorists resort complex in Kandahar when the 9-11 attack occurred.
He never dreamed we'd come after him and his butt-boys.
I suspect that the other suprise is that the US economy (and a lot of the world economy)
didn't just collapse along with the WTC, given all the trading houses that took a hit.
I guess Osama and his buddies know a lot about e-mail and encrypting messages in photo files...
but severely underestimated the resilience of our redundant computer networks serving the
equity and bond markets.
