Middle East Conspiracy Theories

From a non-us source.

OSAMA BIN LADEN has for the first time admitted that his al-Qa'eda group carried out the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the Telegraph can reveal.

In a previously undisclosed video which has been circulating for 14 days among his supporters, he confesses that "history should be a witness that we are terrorists. Yes, we kill their innocents".

If you think the Middle East has a lot of nut jobs with conspiracy theories check out Americans and the Kennedy assassination. There are still some who believe Stanton was involved in the conspiracy to kill Lincoln.

I guess for a certain segment of the human population conspiracy theories is a way of life.

Huh, Xingu and I agree on something.... about time.

November 7, 2001: Bin Laden Claims to Have Weapons of Mass Destruction
Pakistani reporter Hamid Mir is taken blindfolded to a location somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan to interview bin Laden. The sound of antiaircraft fire can be heard in the distance. Bin Laden looks paler and his beard is greyer. While he doesn't claim responsibility for the 9/11 attacks, he says that Muslims were behind it and that Muslims have the moral right to commit such attacks because they are done in self-defense. He says, "I wish to declare that if America used chemical or nuclear weapons against us, then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We have the weapons as deterrent." He also says, "This place may be bombed. And we will be killed. We love death. The US loves life. That is the big difference between us." [Reuters, 11/10/2001; Newsweek, 11/26/2001]
