Did Americans stage 9/11?
On-record statements from Osama confirm that he was responsible for 9/11, planning it in 1982.
Quoted in daily Dunya (September 12, 2012) Vice Chancellor of Punjab University Professor Mujahid Kamran, speaking to his academic staff on the subject of 9/11, revealed that America had staged the attack on New York and Washington through its agencies to find an excuse to attack the Islamic world.
He added that in 2006, Pakistan had found the dead body of Osama bin Laden, and after identifying him through a DNA test, had handed the corpse over to the Americans who then brought it over to Abbottabad and planted it in a house after attacking it. The Abbottabad operation was done to bring Pakistan under pressure and punish the Muslims.
Dr Mujahid Kamran is the scion of a journalist family that I have admired for its integrity and personal kindness to me. He is a PhD in Physics and was reappointed VC of Punjab University by the chief minister and the governor of Punjab in January this year. He won the Abdus Salam Prize in 1985, the National Book Council Award in 1986 and the Presidential Pride of Performance Award in 1999.
Some Pakistanis will not accept that the Pakistan Army did the dirty job of handing over the corpse of Osama bin Laden to America so that it could perpetrate another fraud in May 2011 in Abbottabad.
Writing in Dunya (September 13, 2012), Haroon Rashid challenged Dr Kamran that Pakistani agencies handed over the dead body of Osama bin Laden to the Americans in 2006 after disinterring it and that the drama of 9/11 was staged by America to damage Pakistan. Rashid stated that it was not credible that Pakistan’s military establishment was involved in this conspiracy against Pakistan. And how was it that this conspiracy was revealed to the Punjab University VC and no one else?
There is a history of denial of 9/11 that must be recalled. Writing in daily Insaf (September 9, 2003), Dr Shahid Masood stated that there was growing evidence that America actually manipulated the 9/11 incidents to initiate a new policy towards the Islamic world. There was not enough proof that the third hijacked plane was actually brought down by a tussle in the plane and not by the American fighter planes flying alongside the aircraft. He said there were only two Israelis in the World Trade Centre buildings at the time the hijacked aircraft struck them.
In Pakistan, leading Jamaat-e-Islami leaders such as Professor Ghafoor Ahmad and Professor Khurshid Ahmad wrote extensively on the theme, relying on well-known left-wing French publications ‘proving’ 9/11 to be a stage-managed American event.
But another version exists too. There are on-record statements given to the Al Jazeera network by Osama himself admitting that al Qaeda had staged the 9/11 attacks. There is also the so-called Jalalabad tape and other credible evidence like the following:
Columnist Hamid Mir wrote in Jang (November 1, 2004) that by announcing that he had carried out the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden in his cassette on October 29, 2004 had revealed the falsehood of Muslim intellectuals and ulema that the 9/11 acts of terrorism had been committed by the Jews.
Hamid Mir wrote that when he was in Jalalabad in November 2001, he discovered that every al Qaeda member had the photo of Muhammad Ata (the leader of the hijackers, who crashed two airliners into the World Trade Centre buildings) on their laptop computers. After that, he became convinced that Osama had done the deed. In fact, as a later cassette revealed, Osama had thought of the 9/11 attacks in 1982 when the US had destroyed Lebanon through Israel.
