IRFAN CHISHTI | 14 years ago | Reply @ Fahad Its not misleading and not living in imaginary world. It is the established fact, that world is fooled by these agencies. Just to mention, the vedio clip which MTV played relating to Pentagon plane crash in 2001, was taken off within few hours, becuase, the thing that crashed there was not the plan, it was some missile /torpedo. Go through that video clip, you will be surprised to see, only when you find that. Why I have saying this, saw that at time in clip on MTV.

fahad | 14 years ago | Reply @irfan stop misleading people in the wrong direction. everything has its limits, even conspiracy theories. only an idiot would believe that an american organisation would bring down the world trade center and would attempt to blow up times square. have some decency and sense and stop living in this imaginary world.

IRFAN CHISHTI | 14 years ago | Reply We been having news about Faizal Shahzad's arrest. Every day news comes out that some has link to him, or some one has been arrested on suspicions of being linked to him. That links comes towards pakistan. No has bothered to check what he has been doing in America, before and after becomming naturlized citizen. If proper probe is done, it is certain that one will find that he has links /friends that works for either CIA or Mossad. Probably, all such links would lead to real culprits that stage drama just to pressurize Pakistan, to go at North Waziristan operations. Simple as that. These are dirty tacts of CIA to put pressure on Pakistan
