Lawsuit: Iran Behind 9/11?
Israel’s Ynet is reporting absolutely stunning news today detailing Iran’s association with 9/11. If true – and these allegations will shortly have their day in court – everything we know about 9/11 will have to be revised and the United States put in the extraordinarily difficult position of having to deal with Iran in the manner it did with Afghanistan. Here is just a taste of the lengthy Ynet article, but if there ever was a case of “read the whole thing,” this is it:
In July of 2004, members of the National Commission established to look into the September 11 attacks were facing immense pressure. The target date for submitting the report the whole of America was waiting for had passed, and commission members were given a 60-day extension that was also about to expire. However, eight days before the final submission date, some commission members received word of new information; a real intelligence time bomb.
Commission members didn’t know what to do. On one hand, a whole new lead emerged; yet on the other hand, nobody could process this huge amount of information within days. At the end of the day, the commission chose a solution that turned out to be the worst of all: It crammed some of the information into three pages (pp. 240-242 in the report) written hectically, ignored most of the information, and in fact left the big question open.
As it turned out, the prominent building housing the National Security Agency’s headquarters in Fort Meade includes a particularly interesting room. In this room, the NSA accumulated tens of thousands of conversation records pertaining to one subject: The ties between Iran’s intelligence service and al-Qaeda from the 1990s to the eve of the 9/11 attacks. The piles of information included 75 intelligence documents characterized as critical to understanding the relationship between Tehran and al-Qaeda.
At the end of the day, the commission noted in its report that the issue deserves further scrutiny by the US Administration. However, such examination was not undertaken and may have never materialized. Indeed, this entire affair may have remained buried in the three abovementioned pages, had it not been for one brave woman: Ellen Saracini.
Saracini is not an intelligence analyst or counter-terrorism expert. She is the widow of pilot victor Saracini, the captain of the Boeing jet that took off from Boston aboard United flight 175, which was crashed into the southern tower. However, Ellen was unwilling to see the death of her husband and father of her two daughters end with yet another line in the commission’s report; she decided to seek justice on her own.
Wow, “absolutely stunning news.” Absolute nonsense. How low can you sink?
I have no idea, anonymous Quinterius, how accurate this is. But Ynet is very middle-of-the-road Israeli publication not given to publishing nonsense. You are very quick to dismiss with no evidence. Why?
Available evidence at this point seems to indicate that it’s because this story doesn’t fit The Narrative (with deliberate caps).
I’m open to evidence to the contrary, however.
In case you hadn’t noticed, PJM has become infested over the past couple of months by professional (and unprofessional) trolls. That’s how trolls roll.
This is a lawsuit. Where it goes remains to be seen, but the fact that there’s a lawsuit is not in dispute. That’s frequently how the conspiracy theories end up being separated from the valid leads. A suit of this scope and magnitude is news.
One question that would help us evaluate this all is what are the financial arrangements. Is Mellon doing this on contingency? Attorneys generally don’t take on huge expensive cases like this on contingency unless they’re pretty well convinced that they’re on to something.
“In case you hadn’t noticed, PJM has become infested over the past couple of months by professional (and unprofessional) trolls.”
No, I hadn’t noticed.:) (actually more like years, my dear snork)
They know their ideology and The Won are headed for defeat, so they’re doing what they do… lashing out.
He’s quick to dismiss without evidence this claim based on no evidence?
The claim that refers to what records the NSA has. Which is pretty much the same as a story about the contents of Area 51.
The claim that comes from Israel, alledging their political foe is tied to 9/11. With the same credibility as when the same was said of Iraq. In 2020 I guess it will be Syria.
Yeah, would could a story not worthy of repeating possibly look like. Baffling.
Huh? When did Israel say Iraq was behind 9/11? Their intelligence guys did believe, like other country’s intelligence departments, that Iraq still had large stocks of chemical and other WMD type weapons. All were wrong.
Anyway, the lawsuit was not brought by Israel, but by an American citizen. This is worth waitng to see what actual evidence comes out in court, a court in the US, not in Israel.
Any Iranian involvement in 9/11 would of course be of interest to Israel as it could possibly face a “nuclear 9/11″ courtesy of Iran.

“When did Israel say Iraq was behind 9/11?”
Can you explain to me the exact relevancy of facts?
Quinterius – Here is the link to the filing: http://information.iran911case.com/Plaintiffs_First_Memorandum_In_Support_of_Motion_for_Entry_of-Judgment.pdf
Contra Quinterius, if there is a lawsuit, there is a legal filing, and it should lay out at least some of what YNet is claiming. Maybe you should read the legal filing first before dismissing this out of hand.
IMHO whatever the truth is here, anything that might force O into a war with Iran will disappear as fast as an ice cube in hell, and I am sure the LSM will aid and abet O on this, as it does with everything else he does. Beside he likes to lead from (his) behind, and whom will O get behind on this one?
Thank you Roger for bringing this to our attention.
Either or. Does it really matter if al Qaida was aided in part by the Shiites in Iran? This doesn’t somehow magically shift the preponderance of burden onto Iran and away from the Sunni instigators. It is very possible that Iran viewed AQ as a handy weapon to harm their enemies at little cost to themselves. There’s nothing remarkable about such a revelation – don’t get me wrong – we must work to annihilate ALL Islamic tyrannies which threaten us, and that includes Iran and all the Arab states.
Whatever the evidence of Iran’s putative involvement, it beggars belief to infer that al Qaida are not deeply tied to the Arabs of the gulf at the highest levels. There were exactly three nations that recognized and protected the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Those three nations maintained diplomatic relations until the moment it became clear America was going to start shooting. Iran was not among them – they were :
1. Saudi Arabia. Fascist Islamic tyranny. 85-90% Sunni – 10-15% Shiite.
2. Pakistan. Fascist Islamic tyranny. Also 85-90% Sunni – 10-15% Shiite.
3. UAE – Fascist Islamic tyranny. 84% Sunni – 16% Shiite.
(source: CIA Factbook)
If any Islamic nation is tied to 9/11 they should be carpet bombed until they are convinced it’s a bad idea to attack America. We have not done that to any of the nations responsible. Saudi Arabia remains inviolate. They have received $5-6 trillion in oil revenues since 9/11. UAE is untouched. They have received hundreds of billions in oil revenues since 9/11. Pakistan has remained untouched. It has received $15-20 billion in aid since 9/11, with many billions more from their Arab Sunni friends in the gulf.
That’s some war we’re fighting. And now the fevered rabbits are ignoring the obvious and scampering to affix blame onto the Iranian boogeyman … Funny how that’s the main nation threatening Israel. I’m a huge supporter of Israel, but this sure looks an awful lot like a scheme to manipulate the narrative away from the focus on the Sunni sponsors of terror, who have remained untouched, and onto the Shiite sponsors of terror. Who would that serve the most? Israel, of course. Hmmm.
The Iranian government is highly contained, in fact it’s a viable force for modernizing its people and backward elements that produce fanatics.
Folks, ya’ can’t make this stuff up – Dave Barry
It’s true – all of the ‘replacement’ leaders of aQ have been coming out of Iran and into Pakistan. Bush tried sounding the alarm about Iran with the “Axis of Evil’ speech and the collective left wet their pants. The whole Wilson/Plame kerfuffle and NIE saying Iran was years away from a nuke was a leftie cabal within various parts of the government determined to stop Bush from going to war with Iran. The irony is that he had already decided on covert measures against the mullahs given the stress the Army was under.
10% of US combat fatalities in Iraq were caused by the Iranian EFPs alone. And Obama ‘as a gesture of goodwill toward the Iranians’ released the Irbil five! The Iranians rewarded his gesture by appointing one of the thugs indicted by Interpol for the Buenos Aires bombing as the defense minister.
The DoD is demoralized, and things look like they are going to go critical here in the ME sometime soon.
Iranian intelligence sells “kits” IED’s for about $1000. Add your own 155mm artillery shell – rather abundant in Iraq due to the sloppy guarding of Saddam’s ammo dumps – and you’ve got a nice little remotely-detonated road-side explosive. Their fingerprints are all over the place in Iraq.
“Bush tried sounding the alarm about Iran with the “Axis of Evil’ speech and the collective left wet their pants.”
The Axis of Evil speach named 2 countries with nuclear weapons programs and Bush left them to their own devices and invaded the 3rd. Fear certainly did play a part.
We had legal justification to go to war with Iraq, but at that time not enough proof to hold the Iranians partly responsible for 9/11. Besides, I already mentioned covert measures. Bush wanted, and probably still does, the Iranian people to own their own revolution. He assigned $80 million dollars to the fostering of democracy throughout the ME. Obama came along and cut that funding in half.
The “Nothing but Truth” program on the American Family Network (radio) has touched on the possible Iranian role in 9/11. Has it come up elsewhere?
Of course one should dismiss these claims. It is unthinkable that the sworn enemy of the United States could be behind 9/11.
Of course Iran did it. Remember the Israeli Jewish Mossad agents that were arrested by the New York police on September Eleven? You do remember that several of them were arrested for driving, parking, and Exploding White Vans that were completely filled with military grade explosives. Well these Israeli Jewish Mossad agents that were planting and exploding car bombs all over New York city on the morning of September Elven were obviously all hired by Iran! I am sure that will show up somewhere in the Lawsuit also.
