Iran urges trial of those behind 9/11

Nov. 18th, 2010 - Press TV

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has renewed his call to establish an independent fact-finding committee on the 9/11 incident, urging trial of those who engineered the event.

"Plotters of the September 11 incident should be brought to trial. While regional nations knew nothing about the event, yet countries were occupied [because of it]," IRNA quoted President Ahmadinejad as saying in a press conference in the Azeri capital of Baku on Thursday.

"A fact-finding committee which is trusted by nations should investigate the 9/11 event," he added.

The president emphasized that if US statesmen truly possess firm documents about what happened during the incident, as they claim, they should not fear the establishment of a fact-finding committee and can produce their evidence to the body for a probe.

The Iranian chief executive went on to add, "If it is proved that such crimes were carried out by those who have presence in our region, regional countries and nations will duly punish them by themselves."

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, the Iranian president called for the formation of an independent probe committee to investigate the 2001 event in New York and Washington.

President Ahmadinejad's call for a probe triggered a row in the White House with US President Barak Obama criticizing the Iranian president's remarks as "hateful."

The Iranian president later defended his proposal, saying it did not mean Tehran was insensitive to the pain of the families of the victims but rather showed a commitment to finding the truth behind an incident that triggered wars in Iran's neighboring countries.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad expressed Iran's constant readiness to hold fair talks with P5+1 group -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the US plus Germany.

"We have always advocated negotiations but talks should be based on justice and respect. However, certain Western countries pursue arrogant behavior and think they can win concession if they exert pressure on Iran," he said.

"We believe that talks should be held for friendship and justice and that everyone who intends to impose their demands is mistaken. Iran will not be affected," he added.

The Iranian chief executive pointed out that negotiations are currently underway to set the venue of talks between Iran and P5+1.

On October 14, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Catherine Ashton proposed three-day talks to be held in mid-November in the Austrian capital of Vienna, expressing hope that Tehran would "respond positively" to the offer.

Iran's proposed date and venue for talks with the P5+1 were announced on November 9 in a letter sent by Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili to his counterpart Catherine Ashton.

Ashton accepted Iran's proposed date for talks, but suggested Vienna or Switzerland as the venue for the first meeting.

Yemenis say "the truth is that there is no al-Qaeda"

Yemen’s Drive on Al Qaeda Faces Internal Skepticism

By MONA EL-NAGGAR and ROBERT F. WORTH (NY Times, 11/4/2010)

SANA, Yemen — As Yemen intensifies its military campaign against Al Qaeda’s regional arm, it faces a serious obstacle: most Yemenis consider the group a myth...

“What is Al Qaeda? The truth is there is no Al Qaeda,” said Lutfi Muhammad, a weary-looking unemployed 50-year-old walking through this city’s tumultuous Tahrir Square...

“This latest episode with the packages is only making it worse,” said Mr. Faqih, the Sana University professor. “Many people think it was all about the elections in the U.S., or an excuse for American military intervention here.”

Gen. Hamid Gul, former ISI chief, joins 9/11 truth radio show!

On Tuesday, November 2nd, 9-10 a.m. Pacific (noon-1 pm Eastern) Gen. Hamid Gul will join Muslims for 9/11 Truth coordinator Kevin Barrett and Mavi Marmara hero Ken O'Keefe on NoLiesRadio.org, to be archived here a few hours after broadcast. Full radio announcement here.

Ex-ISI chief General Hamid Gul has long been a brave voice of 9/11 truth, expressing the view of 97% of Pakistanis that al-Qaeda did not do 9/11 as far back as September 26th, 2001, when he pointed out that "Mossad and its American associates are the obvious culprits" - a simple truth that even much of the 9/11 truth movement still doesn't want to hear almost ten years later.

Gen. Gul is that rare combination: a master strategist with great integrity. Below is his media bio.

Military Career

General Hamid Gul was commissioned as 2^nd Lieutenant in a distinguished tank regiment, 19^th Lancers, on 18^th of October 1958. In a brilliant career spread over 36 years, he topped almost every course he attended, and commanded some of the best units and formations of The Pakistan Army including the crack 1^st Armored Division and 2 Corps, the premier strike formation of Pakistan. He earned the reputation of a brilliant and dashing commander, loved and admired by his troops and respected by his seniors. He headed the Military Intelligence (MI) and also became founder father of the Corps of Military Intelligence. He attended staff college Camberly (UK) in 1970 and left his mark there as one of the finest graduates of the institution. As a young officer he attended the US Pacific Army’s Intelligence School, Okinawa (Japan) and still holds an unbeaten record with over 99% aggregate marks. His military career took him to the rank of General. At the height of his military career he was deemed to be the hottest favourite for the slot of The Chief of the Army Staff but due to political pressures from abroad he was not selected and assigned the Director Generalship of a military industrial complex which he refused to accept and resigned from the Army.

ISI and Afghan Jihad

The highest attainment of his long and distinguished career was his Command of The Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) during the fateful period of Afghan Jihad against the Soviet occupation of that country. He is widely regarded as the architect of the Afghan resistance that eventually steered the Afghan Mujahideen to historic victory, forcing the Soviets to pull out on the 15^th of Feb 1989. He was immensely popular with all the Mujahideen factions of that time who held him in very high esteem and treated him as a fatherly figure. He used his sway and clout over the Mujahideen to forge peace in Afghanistan on at least three occasions when Mujahideen factions had started fighting among themselves after liberation. It was creditable that he did so after retirement, entirely in his individual capacity. The unruly Mujahideen commanders obeyed and respected him like no one else. Later on with the advent of Taliban’s rise he was equally admired and respected by the Taliban leadership because of his principled stand in support of the Afghan resistance against US aggression so much so that he was invited as the chief guest at the Afghan National Day parade in Kabul on 19^th August 2001.

He is generally regarded as the benefactor and friend of the Afghan nation as a whole and commands influence both on the Taliban side and among the top government functionaries and the political leaders of the Kabul Regime. It is generally believed that he may be the one person who could play an important conciliatory role for the unity of the Afghan nation at an appropriate time.

Public Profile

Inside the country, General Hamid Gul is known for honour, truthfulness, integrity and a bold stance on national issues. He enjoys great respect among ulema, intellectuals, technocrats and retired and serving servicemen of all orientations. But perhaps he cuts the best image among the youth of Pakistan. He is one of the most coveted and sought-after figures by domestic and international media. He is deluged almost daily by the world media for his opinion and analysis which he blends with a strategic foresight hardly manifest in any other media personality. His forecasts about all situations arising after 9/11 have proved to be prophetically true. His understanding of the Jihadi movements is remarkably accurate and his courage to standby the noble causes of freedom and human rights endears him not only to the Pakistani nation but a wide swathe of public opinion in the Muslim world.

Lawyers Movement

Lately he was one of the leading lights during the lawyer’s movement which electrified the civil society of Pakistan among them the ex-servicemen of the Pakistan armed forces who rallied behind him and carried the movement to its logical conclusion resulting in restoration of the deposed judges of the supreme and high courts. His lectures to a large number of the Pakistan Bar Councils were highly motivational and his personal example in leading the public rallies was greatly appreciated across the nation.

Adversary Sentiments

While his legendary reputation and hero image inspires a broad cross section of Pakistani society particularly the youth he also invokes adversary sentiments among some left wing liberals and draws the ire of imperialist powers that fear the resurgence of Islam. Yet, his opinion carries immense weight among the policy makers, friends and foes alike.

Recognition and Awards

In recognition of his services he was once described by a Russian diplomat as Commander in Chief of the Afghan Mujahideen. For his monumental achievements in forcing the Soviet Union out of Afghanistan and eventually liberating Western Europe from the red menace he was presented by the German Intelligence BND a piece of the Berlin Wall mounted on a plaque inscribed: “With deepest respects to General Hamid Gul who helped delivered the first blow”. He is recipient of several gallantry and meritorious service awards of Pakistan as well as medals by various public organizations.

Soldier Scholar

Gen Gul is not only a brilliant solider and strategist but also wields his pen with enormously effective expression on major issues both domestic and international. He is one of the chief opinion makers of the country, especially among right-wing intellectuals. He has written hundreds of columns mostly for the Urdu press of Pakistan but also for an English readership at home and abroad. He has been extensively reported and quoted by such prestigious publications as Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and almost all other major magazines and dailies of the world in all languages. He regularly appears on TV channels and radio programmes. His opinions carry immense influence.

Hamid Karzai: US Private "Security" Firms Spread False-Flag Terror

Apparently the Empire of Lies can't even prevent the puppet presidents of the countries it occupies from telling the truth about US-Zionist false-flag terror.

Hamid Karzai may have sliced a few puppet strings yesterday by openly bragging about taking "bags of money" from Iran - whose President Ahmadinejad recently spoke out for 9/11 truth on the floor of the UN, and received a standing ovation from the representatives of the majority of nations on earth.

In addition to vaunting his growing ties with 9/11-truth-seeking Iran, Karzai has banned US private "security" firms from Afghanistan as of Dec. 17th, on the grounds that these firms are spreading false-flag terror. The New York Times reported today:

The Afghan president said security companies were responsible for a litany of bloody crimes against the country’s people. “When this money comes to Afghanistan, it causes insecurity in Afghan homes and causes the killing of Afghan children and causes explosions and terrorism in Afghanistan, ” Mr. Karzai said. He leveled several accusations against Western interests in Afghanistan and the news media, even going so far as to say that the security companies were interchangeable with the Taliban. “In fact we don’t know how many of the explosions are the fault of the Taliban and how much by them, ” said Mr. Karzai, referring to the security companies.

US, Zionists prime suspects of 9/11 attacks: Indian Leader

Pakistan Observer, 10/20/2010 http://current.com/10bv34c

New Delhi—An Indian leader Saturday said that the US, and Zionists were the prime suspects of 9/11 attacks. In an exclusive interview with IRNA Asif Mohd Khan, Member of the Legislative Assembly of Delhi said: “US should respond those hundreds of unanswered questions which indicated that the September 11 attacks in 2001 were either intentionally allowed to happen or were orchestrated by the US and Zionists”. Expressing his full support for the stands taken by the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Indian leader urged UN as well as Obama administration to formate a fact-finding committee to probe into the events.

A fortnight ago Ahmadinejad in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, raised the issue of the many conspiracy theories still surrounding 9/11. He had also proposed that a fact-finding mission be set up by the UN to investigate the events. Asif said that subsequent attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq provided the fodder to the suspicion that US might have attack to justify military action in the Middle East.

Quoting to some of the surveys after the attacks, Indian leader said that such beliefs have currency even in the United States. In 2006, a Scripps Howard poll of 1,010 Americans found 36 percent thought it somewhat or very likely that US officials either participated in the attacks or took no action to stop them. “From the very beginning 9/11 attacks were doubtful, but after seeing the events in later years, the suspicions grown that it was their own operation to find a pretext to hit Muslim countries’, said Asif. Nations, thinkers and politicians around the globe suspect that it’s not a strange thing that the US staged something like this in their own country to achieve a big objective’, he added.

Indian leader said that the US actions and polices were always controversial. Afghanistan was attacked on the pretext of 9/11 attacks while Iraq was attacked on the pretext that it had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Although both the pretexts were proved wrong.—NNI

Pakistan's President says US is committing false-flag "Taliban" attacks

by Jason Ditz, antiwar.com

10/13/2010

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari believes that the United States has been secretly behind a number of Taliban suicide attacks across the nation, according to a detailed account from Bob Woodward’s new book Obama’s Wars.

According to the book, Zardari expressed this concern to then-US envoy Zalmay Khalizad during a dinner, telling him that they were being arranged by either the US or India and that he “didn’t think India could be that clever.”

Met with shock by Khalizad, Zardari explained that it was part of a US plot to “destabilize Pakistan so that the US could invade and seize its nuclear weapons.” Zardari also apparently claimed that Afghan President Hamid Karzai had told him the US was responsible for the attacks.

The claims continued to get more elaborate, as Zardari claimed the CIA was overtly supporting Baitullah Mehsud and that the US had “revealed its support of the TTP.” Mehsud, the former leader of the TTP, was assassinated in August 2009, and has since been replaced by Hakimullah Mehsud.

Iran Wants Probe Into 9/11

Iran wants probe into 9/11
Sunday, October 10, 2010 - 15:29

Mohammad Kowsari is an Iranian lawmaker and he says Iran is ready to form a truth-finding committee into 9/11 and present their findings to the United Nations.

Surprisingly many American citizens also want this because there was no "real" investigation into the events of 9/11.

The group would find out who was really behind 9/11. Ahmadinejad called for the UN truth finding mission.

Mohammad Kowsari said that forming such a committee is needed to resolve "global problems".

Since 9/11 the US government has invaded countless countries, they have killed thousands of innocent civilians and felt the need to occupy some countries until today. Iraq is still full of US troops even though they deny it. All this was done under the pretext of "war on terror" and it all started with Saddam's not found "weapons of mass destruction" which until today has not been found.

Update: Ahmadinejad Announces New Panel to Probe 9/11:

Wednesday, 10/13/10: "I announce that the formation of an independent and neutral team to examine the facts and discover the truth of the Sept. 11 events is the demand of all the peoples of the region and the world," the Iranian president said during a visit to Lebanon, the London Telegraph newspaper reported. - qtd. in distorted story by Zionist hatemongers at NY Daily News
