The
September 11, 2001 attacks in the US were a “false flag” operation
carried out jointly by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia with "Zionists
playing the lead role," an analyst tells Press TV.
On Thursday, a US federal court ruled that relatives of people who
died in the 9/11 attacks can sue Saudi Arabia, reversing a lower court
ruling in 2002 that had found the kingdom immune from lawsuits.
The complaint states that much of the funding for the al-Qaeda
terrorists involved in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon came from Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Kevin Barrett, a member of the Scientific Panel for the
Investigation of 9/11, rejects the official narrative, saying Saudi
Arabia is a "puppet of the US and other Western governments.”
“There were no hijackers, there were no hijackings, this has been
proved in many, many ways,” Dr. Barrett said on Saturday. “Ten of the 19
guys they blamed were still alive after 9/11,” he added.
Rather,
he said, “Saudi intelligence was used by the real perpetrators of Sept.
11 to create a legend, to set up the patsies who would be blamed for
this event.”
Dr. Barrett said a “suppressed” report by the Congressional Joint
Inquiry of 2002 would shed light on the true perpetrators of the
attacks, should it become public. The controversial document, however,
has remained classified to this day.
Former Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) who chaired the inquiry at the time
has stated that the document includes information “implicating a foreign
government,” Dr. Barrett said. “But there has been such a cover-up,” he
added.
The September 11 attacks, also referred to as 9/11 were a series of
four coordinated attacks upon the US cities of New York and the
Washington, DC which killed nearly 3,000 people.
