Question:
Why would AQ want to bomb IMF and World Bank since they are both international and are not US icons?
After thinking about it I may have a possible answer. This could raise the price of gold on the international market. They did say that gold would be the indicator of things to come...

IMF cracking down on terrorist funding?
I bet they are both "villians" in Muslim Africa for loan repayment demands.
It's kind of like the UN IMO. They are not necessarily US run organizations, but money rarely goes out of either without the expressed consent of the US.
I wondered that as well. I was sure these institutions are funneling some of AQ's money around the world. Maybe some patriotic banker types are helping DHS put the squeeze on AQ funds. Personally, except for the potential loss of life, I wouldn't mind too much if they came tumbling down, along with the UN. "Patriotic International Bankers?" What an oxymoron.
