Iranian casts doubts on Sept. 11 attack, ground zero deaths

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt

Wednesday over the U.S. version of the Sept. 11 attacks, calling it a

pretext used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.

Although Iran has condemned the 2001 al-Qaida attacks on New York and

Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week that Ahmadinejad

questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.

"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building

collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never

published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.

Under this pretext, the U.S. "attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then a

million people have been killed only in Iraq," Ahmadinejad said in the

speech broadcast live on state-run television.

On the last anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in

New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony.

Last year, Ahmadinejad raised questions over the attacks, saying "what

caused it, what were the conditions that led to it, who truly was involved"

needed to be examined.

Ahmadinejad has said the attack was a result of "mismanaging and inhumane

managing of the world by the U.S." and the attack should not be turned into

another Holocaust "used for slaughtering people."

Although Iran has condemned the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the

campaigns toppled the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, two regional threats to

Iran.
