Interested in [what] much more than?

"The perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks were interested in much more than the creation of apocalyptic media events-and their resonances with Western popular culture."

I couldn't figure this sentence out, isn't it incomplete?

"Interested in" is weak there, almost a euphemism. Maybe it will be clearer to you this way:

"The perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks wanted much more than the creation of apocalyptic media events-and their resonances with Western popular culture."
