[[WMG: Hans was banking on most of the other terrorists dying so he could get most of the money.]]
Note how unconcerned he is when [=McClane=] announces he killed several of them, as well as how he doesn’t hesitate to blow the roof even when someone protests that Karl is still up there. For each terrorist who dies, Hans would claim what would’ve been their share of the money, giving him a vast majority of the $640 million.
He probably intended for a few of his subordinates to die during the heist thanks to police/FBI presence, and then he would double-cross the survivors after the fact, but once [=McClane=] entered the picture, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Hans’ end goal suddenly became easier]] since he didn’t have to dirty his hands with the terrorists' deaths.
The lone exception to Hans’ double-cross is Theo, who’s notably the only one of the group with a specific skill necessary to get the money. Everyone else is essentially hired muscle, and as such disposable, and Hans would reward Theo’s usefulness by letting him escape with his share of the money. That’s why he jumps ship to prepare the getaway car as soon as he’s no longer needed by the vaults — he’s ensuring he makes it out alive.

[[WMG: Tony and Karl in the first film had a gay incestuous relationship]]
In addition to Karl being an AxCrazy [[TheSociopath sociopath]] with a HairTriggerTemper, he and his brother were also lovers and that's why Karl was so devastated by Tony's death.

** Considering the situation from him side, there's a good chance the reason why he broadcasted was because he believed he was going to die on the plane. To him, it's possible that the broadcast he was making was what he thought was going to be a FinalSpeech. It doesn't excuse what he done, but he clearly DidntThinkThisThrough because he believed he was going to die after that broadcast was made and didn't consider the possibility of surviving. He didn't want to die, as we see him after Holly tazzes him when he's escorted to his seat. Everyone on board the plane thought they weren't going to make it, though they have hope that they may get lucky. They were fortunate enough to survive because John's dedication to getting his wife back alive and making sure the bad guys lost. Now that he's still alive, there's a good chance there's consequences Dick's going to have to deal with, one of them being the loss of his job in addition to the possibility of having jail time.

At the time, Gaddafi was infamous for his indiscriminate support of militant groups, and the robbers were pretending to be terrorists. So it's not hard to imagine they got at least some backing from the Libyan government.

The MacGuffin of the first movie, the Bearer Bonds Gruber and co. were attempting to steal, has some interesting implications if one knows enough about them. By the late 70s, they were primarily used for illegal purposes, mostly because of their untraceability. What little tax benefits they would have provided were stripped by a law passed in the early '80s. So why would Nakatomi be hoarding 2/3rds of a billion dollars in them? There isn't really any legitimate reason that comes to mind, but either tax avoidance or shuffling large amounts of money that couldn't be traced come to mind. It wouldn't be much of a stretch that the activities in question could be for certain organizations back home.
