‘Pak, Saudi aided 9/11 plot’

[Bhaisahab]

WASHINGTON, JUNE 20: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia helped set the stage for the 9/11 attacks by cutting deals with the Taliban and Osama bin Laden that allowed Al Qaeda to flourish, according to several members of the 9/11 commission and US counter-terrorism officials.

The financial aid to the Taliban and other assistance by two of the most important American allies in the US-declared war on terrorism date at least to 1996, and appear to have helped immunise them from Al Qaeda attacks within their own borders until long after the 2001 strikes, those officials said in interviews.

"Now the Taliban will pay a price" vowed President George W. Bush, as American and British fighter planes unleashed missile attacks against major cities in Afghanistan. The US Administration claims that Osama bin Laden is behind the tragic events of the 11th of September. A major war supposedly "against international terrorism" has been launched, yet the evidence amply confirms that agencies of the US government have since the Cold War harbored the "Islamic Militant Network" as part of Washington's foreign policy agenda. In a bitter irony, the US Air Force is targeting the training camps established in the 1980s by the CIA.

The main justification for waging this war has been totally fabricated. The American people have been deliberately and consciously misled by their government into supporting a major military adventure which affects our collective future.
