They were highly symbolic. But you'd have killed more high profile politicians and executives if you'd hit Yankee Stadium during a big game or perhaps Yale University during alumni night. Very few people of note actually died in the WTC because the offices were kinda shit and all the big money guys had their own buildings elsewhere.
The Pentagon and the WH were easier to argue. But they were also much harder targets to penetrate, as evidenced by the failure of the Pentagon plane to do any serious damage and the WH plane to reach its target.
