They have plenty to gain. Osama and his ilk want us completely out of the arab region. They don't want us to have military bases in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. They don't want us financially backing the Israelis. They want to be able to overrun Israel and set up in it's place Palestine.
By making Americans afraid that our involvement in the region is the reason for these attacks they hope that the terror can convince American voters to keep our government on a leash.
They have made demands, maybe you missed the videos. They weren't televised much, the goverment convinced the media to not show them because of the possibility of hidden messages to domestic terror cells.
