The terrorist is shorting on the stock market : he sells the shares before buying it.

Let's say he sells a share 1000$ ans says to the buyer "I'll give you them in 2 days". Then he attacks de NYSE, making the price of this share drop to 200$.

He buys them at 200$, gives them to the 1000$ buyer and thus have a 800$ profit.
