| Iraq sez 9-11 was an inside job |
| 2001-09-20 |
Not to be outdone by those Moslems and Arabs blaming Israel for the terrorist attacks on America, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan told the weekly al-Rai that the attacks were, in fact, an operation carried out by American internal agents. The attacks were "undoubtedly an inside job which heralds the beginning of the collapse [of the US] from within." A collapse, said Ramadan, that would be "the will of Allah." Furthermore, Ramadan said, "I don't think any [foreign] organization is capable of staging such attacks." Criticizing those Arab and Moslem leaders who "shamelessly" condemned the terrorist attacks, Ramadan said that they should either remain silent or "thank God for His mercy." Ramadan also counseled America to "rethink both its internal and foreign policies." The Iraqi VP called the American intention to launch an offensive against terrorists a sign of "hostility to Arabs and Muslims." |
