You don't think the leadership is sophisticated enough to plan the attack on the date? And they aren't sophisticated enough to know to make it significant to the intended audience?
IMO, the thing about terrorism is its intended to illicit a psychological response - an emotion. Therefore, dates and such become much more important, as they add impact, making the emotion stronger. I don't think they would do it because the number of days is significant to them, but rather to the audience.
And I don't think its supernatural capabilitites - just good management and advertising. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to say "Well, everybody's ranting about 9/11, so in 911 days, lets do something else."
If it was a coincidence, it was a good one for them.
I'm not sharpshooting you.
