Al-Qaeda No. 2 says 9/11 Conspiracy Theory Propagated By Iran
Apparently Al-Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, is outraged that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad keeps spreading the 9/11 conspiracy theory.
In a newly released audio tape Al-Zawahri accuses the Iranian President of trying to discredit Al-Qaeda by suggesting that Israel and the U.S. were behind the 9/11 attacks.
On the tape, Al-Zawahri answers questions posted to him on an Islamic militant website.
One of the questioners asked about the theory that has circulated in the Middle East and elsewhere that Israel was behind the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Al-Zawahri accused Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television of starting the rumor.
“The purpose of this lie is clear—(to suggest) that there are no heroes among the Sunnis who can hurt America as no else did in history. Iranian media snapped up this lie and repeated it,” he said.
“Iran’s aim here is also clear—to cover up its involvement with America in invading the homes of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq,” he said.
Iran cooperated with the United States in the 2001 U.S. assault on Afghanistan that toppled al-Qaida’s allies, the Taliban.
The terror leader was also asked for his thoughts on global warming (I’m not making this up) and he was happy to opine on that subject as well:
He predicted that global warming would “make the world more sympathetic to and understanding of the Muslims’ jihad against the aggressor America.”
I really hope the handful of people who still believe Al-Qaeda wasn’t really behind 9/11 will at least begin to rethink their conclusions after this latest audio tape. Maybe this will make some of America’s great thinkers like Rosie O’Donnell, Charlie Sheen, and Jesse Ventura, take a second look at the evidence and quit being stuck on stupid.
