Why the Terrorists:
There are always groups of people in the world that hate. Hatred is often focused on the United States because of the wealth and world power of the US in comparison to so many other countries and people in the world. There is some validity to hatred directed at the US in that the US government has, on occasion, wielded its power unwisely. Those who hate the US based on mistakes that the government has made focus only on these mistakes, failing to take into the picture the diversity of the people and ideas, or the benefits that the US has also provided to the rest of the world.
Why the Twin Towers:
The goal of the terrorists was to make the biggest impact on targets that represented the wealth and power of the US. The Towers represented the wealth, the Pentagon and the White House (or Capitol building) represented the power. The terrorist were smart enough to know that a lot of people would happen to be in the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) at that time of day on a week day.

∙ 12y agoThe "Twin Towers" of the World Trade Center in New York City were not literally "bombed". Rather, the impact of two airliners steered into them by Al Qaeda hijackers and fires worsened by the fuels from those planes caused them to collapse.
As Bruhahah stated, the Twin Towers were not literally bombed. US Flight 11 was flown into the side of the North Tower, and United Flight 175 was flown into the South Tower. The explosions themselves were a result of having nearly full tanks of of fuel that combusted and ignited after impact. If you can find a copy of the Life magazine that was published as a memorial - I believe it was an '06 publication - it shows the impact of one of the planes. There is a layout that shows a series of photos the show that nearly the entire plane had entered the building before fire is visible. The jet fuel igniting created such a hot fire ( over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit was estimated) that the support beams within the towers literally melted which brought about the collapsing of each tower.
