Al-Qaida Rejects Iran's 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

Et ideo mittit illis Deus operationem erroris, ut credant mendacio. (2 Thessalonians 2:11)

Al-Qaida has sharply criticized Iran's President over his suggestions that the United States government was behind the Sept. 11 attacks and not al-Qaida, dismissing the comments as "ridiculous".

Ahmadinejad claims that explosive material and not planes brought down the World Trade Center.

In an article posted online Wednesday in the terror network's English-language Internet magazine "Inspire", al-Qaida rejected the Iranian leader's suggestions.

"Why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?", asked the article's author, Abu Suhail.

"For Iran, anti-Americanism is merely a game of politics. It is anti-American when it suits it and it is a collaborator with the U.S. when it suits it", Abu Suhail said.

Abu Suhail said Iran is jealous of al-Qaida's "success" in the Sept. 11 attacks, saying that because Tehran couldn't strike at the U.S. itself, the Iranians want to "discredit Sept. 11 and what better way to do so than conspiracy theories".

Whatever the truth is about the 9/11 attacks, it is a popular belief among Europeans that it was the United States itself which staged the tragic disaster.
