| Saudi Minister: Jews Behind 9/11 Attacks
By ALAA SHAHINE
Associated Press Writer
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- The Saudi police minister has claimed Jews were behind the Sept. 11 attacks because they have benefited from subsequent criticism of Islam and Arabs, according to media reports.
Interior Minister Prince Nayef made the remarks in the Arabic-language Kuwaiti daily Assyasah last month. The latest edition of Ain al-Yaqeen, a weekly Internet magazine devoted to Saudi issues, posted the Assyasah interview and its own English translation.
"We know that the Jews have manipulated the Sept. 11 incidents and turned American public opinion against Arabs and Muslims," Prince Nayef was quoted as saying in the Arabic text, while Ain al Yaqeen's English version referred to "Zionists" instead of "Jews."
"We still ask ourselves: Who has benefited from Sept. 11 attacks? I think they (the Jews) were the protagonists of such attacks," Nayef was quoted as saying. Nayef's spokesman, Saud al-Musaibeeh, did not respond to repeated requests for confirmation the minister had been quoted accurately.
The Internet magazine's English translation of the comments began to attract attention in the United States just as the Saudis launched a new public relations campaign to address accusations the kingdom is soft on terrorism and inculcates extremist thought among its citizens.
"The Saudis are telling us that they are an ally in the war on terror while their top government officials are still blaming ... the Jews and denying that 15 Saudis took part in the attacks on New York and the Pentagon," Rep. Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat, said in Washington earlier this week.
"The Bush administration continually defends Saudi Arabia as a friend of the United States and a committed partner in the war on terror," Engel said. "Does this Saudi minister sound like a partner in the war on terror?"
Sen. Charles Schumer, also a New York Democrat, wrote this week in a letter to the Saudi ambassador to the United States that "the interior minister's comments only serve to confirm American suspicions about the Saudi government's commitment to the war on terror."
Nayef's remarks echoed rumors that have been heard in the Arab world since the attacks - but this time they are attributed to the man in charge of Saudi investigations into the attacks.
The Saudi minister was quoted in the interview as saying his kingdom is currently detaining some 100 terror suspects for interrogation. He added that the suspects "will either apologize for their mistakes and change their course or will be referred to trial."
The United States has blamed the Sept. 11 attacks on al-Qaida terror network, whose chief, Osama bin Laden, was stripped of his Saudi citizenship in 1994. It took Saudi Arabia five months after the attacks to acknowledge that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. The Gulf kingdom, a close U.S. ally, has never officially held al-Qaida responsible for the attacks and usually refers to the hijackers as people "enticed and deluded" into committing their crimes.
Several statements attributed to bin Laden aired by the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television claimed responsibility for the attacks. A statement attributed to al-Qaida's "political bureau" that appeared Monday on an Islamic web site listed the Sept. 11 attacks as among the successful operations carried out by the terrorist group against the United States.
In the interview, Nayef said he could not believe that bin Laden and his network, including Saudi participants, worked alone.
He was quoted as saying he believed terrorist networks have links to "foreign intelligence agencies that work against Arab and Muslim interests, chief among them is the Israeli Mossad."

it fits right in with the core group posting on this forum | | | | Guest | | Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2002 5:18 am Post subject: Israeli Mossad Agents Celebrated as they Watched WTC Burn... |
| Let's talk about the Israeli Mossad agents that were detained (and then later quietly sent back to Israel) as eyewitnesses saw them cheering and videotaping each other in the process as the WTC was burning in the backgroup... The Jewish newspaper in the USA ("Forward") confirmed that they were indeed Mossad agents... Why don't we hear more or anything about this in our pro-Israel-biased US press/media? What about the Israeli spy ring story that Carl Cameron did for the Fox News News Channel which none of the other pro-Israel-biased US press/media even touched...? The Israelis knew more than what they conveyed before the 9/11 attack as Carl Cameron mentioned as well in his story for Fox News Channel which you can access at the following URL (due to pro-Israel pressure, the story was pulled from www.foxnews.com)...

The Israelis, several of who were later identified by their names as Mossad operatives in the March 15 issue of the NY Jewish weekly, Forward, were not exactly dancing but were seen to be laughing and in high spirits as they were taking videos of each other with the burning WTC in the background. An angry neighbor called the cops who treated the Israelis non too pleasantly, and, after allegedly roughing them up a bit, threw them in the hoosegow for a couple of months until their trip back to Israel was arranged. It also turned out that the moving company that they were working for was a Mossad front but the guy running it got back to Israel before he was caught. Of course, the cops at the lower levels don't know that the Israelis are protected at the high levels of the US government. the attack on the Liberty being the act that has defined US-Israeli relations since 1967:

If people who disagree ask "what about Jonathan Pollard," it is quite clear that (1) at that time there were folks in Washington who were not that fond of Israel and (2) the last thing the Israeli government has wanted is Pollard to be freed. The man is a loose cannon, with extreme right wing Zionist views, and is more thank likely to give away the family secrets once he would be back on the street.
It seems clear that the Israelis were shadowing the highjackers at least when they were in Florida at the flight school and probably elsewhere and, if nothing else, the placement of the Mossad agents near the WTC would seem to indicate they knew what was going to happen and when. Did they plan it, or have an Arab agent convince those who carried it out to do it? None of us can say, for sure. Surely, they benefited from 9/11, as even Netanyahu admitted almost immediately afterward. At this moment, the two governments are so entwined, and since it is quite evident that the Bush administration received a kick start from 9/11 which now enables the US to do whatever it pleases and to whom with most of the world terrified into acquiescence, it is too much to believe they are simply taking advantage of an unforeseen situation.
Re Iraq, I don't think Hussein has really ever been a threat to Israel. he talks a better game than he performs. Just before the Gulf War, Rabin was negotiating with Saddam over a deal in which Iraq would be willing to take in the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees from Lebanon, Jordan, Syria etc. Israel's real fear or target is Iran, and Israel hopes that the US will go after Iran next. Israel is still suffering from the humiliation of having its vaunted IDF forced to retreat from Lebanon after a well deserved ass-whipping by Hezbollah which the Israelis like to blame on Iran.

I was referring to the "dancing" Israelis who who were detained after they were seen cheering as they watched the World Trade Center come crashing down.. They were later "quietly" deported back to Israel. For additional information on such (to include the Carl Cameron story that aired on Fox News Channel which should have also been covered extensively on the other US press/media but wasn't because of the pro-Israel bias with them), access the following URL:

Some Palestinians might have been clapping because they know that America facilitates (with the 10 to 15 million US Taxpayer dollars per day flowing to Israel via a pro-Israel lobby-corrupted and Zionist-occupied Congress) the brutal Israeli occupation of the Palestinian people which contributes to the growing anger/hatred for the USA in the Arab/Moslem world (it was such hatred which contributed to the tragic World Trade Center attack).

| I would like to bring to your attention a recent book entitled "Gideons Spies"-The Secret history of the Mossad--by Gordon Thomas--ISBN0-312-25284-6.
On page 87 the author relates how in Aug.of 1983-Mossad agents discovered that an attack was being planned against U.S.forces in Beirut, but did not pass the info on to the C.I.A. or any U.S. Agency to alert the base. At Mossad Headquarters the comment was made that "the Yanks can do their own watching etc etc!!!! On Oct 23,1983, 249 Marines of the 8th Marine Battalion died thanks to our "ally". I think the victims families should be made aware of this treachery,,and petition their reps to stop all financial & military aid to this double crossing "ally"-- | | | | Guest | | Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2002 7:57 am Post subject: Re: The Secret history of the Mossad |

never mentioned is if the mossad was so good, how is it that they didn't prevent the idf hdqs from being blown up by a sucide bomber
