What was the reason the terrorists wanted to attack the US?
One reason is that a lot of foreign countries feel that America is a bully pushing their ideas on smaller countries under the guise of democracy,The terriosts see America as an Infidel and feel thatAllah has issued warnings that were not adhered to. So Allah has these people engaging in a Holy War and to give ones life for Allah many treasures await them in the afterlife.To the terriosts this is not terrorism but battles fought in a Holy War. Also America has had differances in the Mid-East since the mid 1950s starting with Lebanon and continuing to today with Iraq, Iran and Afganiston who we will be encountering next. It seems to me that we are sticking our nose in other people's business who don't want our noses anywhere near them.

Why did the hijackers from 911 hijack planes?
The 9/11 hijackers hijacked the planes because Osama bin Ladin and the fellow members of al Quada are Muslims. That means that they believe in Allah. (or God) They hijacked planes because they have 24,000 gallons of jet fuel in the plane! They bought little knives that anybody can buy from a hardware store so nobody would think that they would hijack a plane and kill about 4,000 people!

How many victims died on 9 11?
I looked at a 9/11 research website just now, and they estimated that the overall 9/11 death-toll was about 2,750, so almost nearly 3,000 people killed altogether. This might have been a temporary estimate at the time this site was made or updated so it might have changed. But I think that's pretty close though. To what I can recall at least
