ma guess is: Bin Laden told the truth

it is someone related to Israel did it, COULD be some American group, but the bad news is:
IF it is not american group, Bin Laden can still live
IF it is american group, Bin Laden will be DEAD FOR SURE

If he did it, he'd deny it. If he didn't, of coures he wouldn't say he did.
But I doubt Bin is lying here. He must have known the whole world would think he was the one behind the attacks, and anyone with common sense would not want to die.
On the other hand, he's a muslim. Personally, I'm not so I don't know much about their morals and values, but he IS seen as a hero in a lot of countries (about one third of the people in this world are muslim) and it could have been that he was prepared to die for his beliefs.

I simply don't know. It could have been just eight people really, two per plane, all dead now. Then what?

I'm not one to jump to conclusions about who is behind the attacks, but I have two responses:

1) No offense, but I take everything from the Drudge Report with a grain of salt. There was an article last Christmas that my father had read which indicated that, then President Clinton, had signed himself into a position of authority, using executive orders, that allowed him to basically declare a national state of emergency and enforce dictatorial rule. After I did some research, I found the executive order that was referenced. I read the original source and after some further research found that the Drudge Report had distorted the original story and sensationalized it.

So forgive me if I take the claims of Bin Laden's statement with a bit fo skepticism.

2) After reading the Reuter's news article, it sounds like the statement came from an Afghanistan newspaper which has a reputation for "sensational" news writing.

Quote:
``The terrorist act is the action of some American group. I have nothing to do with it,'' the newspaper Khabrain quoted bin Laden as saying through ``sources close to the Taliban.''

The Urdu-language newspaper has a reputation for sensational reporting and there was no independent confirmation of the claim
I don't yet know who is responsible, but I am confident that a full investigation will eventually sort this whole thing out.

Whilst on the subject on bin Laden here's a 1998 article on him that people may find interesting:

Osama bin Laden is the guy that is the most natural suspect for the recent terrorist outrage, at least in part because he was in the frame for organising the last bombing of the World Trade Center in 1996 (I think).

Of Saudi descent and from a rich family he's a multi-millionare in his own right, and uses these funds to organise a terror network.

The link I posted above discuss's some of his origins and the involvement of the CIA in his origins.

Have to agree with Father Bronze here.. People that can make these terror attacks can as well lie about it too if it is in there interests..
