So now it comes out...the 9/11 terror plot against America wasn't just known by Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheik Muhammed and Ayman al-Zawahiri...but also by the Iranian government. And from the court papers that show this, it is also revealed that the Iranians actually participated in part of the training of the 9/11 hijackers.
So we can now add Iraninan involvement in 9/11 to the killing of American troops inside of Iraq during the Iraq War, funding the efforts of the Hezbollah in Iraq forces who killed American troops in Iraq and the supplying of weapons and munitions to Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Which leads me to the question I always ask...just why is it that we have not bombed the ever living shit out of Tehran? Why have we not destroyed the government of Iran? How many dead Americans do we need at the hands of the Iranians to finally go after these murderers? I guess the current administration is waiting until an Iranian nuke kills tens of thousands of Americans before it will act. If then.
Here's the story from the Daily Mail.
Is Iran culpable in 9/11? It 'knew about terror attacks before they happened and trained hijackers'
Iran knew about 9/11 before it happened and helped train hijackers, court papers say.
Lawyers representing September 11th victims’ families claim new evidence shows Iranian officials assisted in training hijackers and had advanced word of the attacks.
There is ‘clear and convincing’ evidence for damages and a federal judge should find Iran culpable in the terror attacks, according to papers filed in Manhattan, New York.
Three defectors from Iran's intelligence service testified they worked in positions giving them access to sensitive information about Iran's state sponsorship of terrorism, the lawyers said.
The testimony supports a claim that Iranian officials had advanced word of the attacks and that Iran helped train those who carried it out, they allege.
Iran has not responded to the lawsuit - first filed in Washington D.C. and transferred to New York.
The Shiite regime in Iran and Sunni group Al Qaeda are natural enemies, though they have had a relationship of convenience based on their shared hatred of the U.S.
The lawyers said Iran and ‘its proxy terrorist organization’, the Lebanese group Hezbollah, entered into a terrorist alliance with Al Qaeda in the early 1990s.
This continued throughout the preparations for the 2001 attacks, they allege.
They said Iran and Hezbollah gave material support to Al Qaeda after the attacks by helping some of the terrorist group's leaders and their families escape from the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
The lawyers are filing videotaped testimony under seal which show three defectors from Iran's intelligence service ‘circumstantially and directly’ implicate Iran and Hezbollah in 9/11.
Iran and Hezbollah had ‘foreknowledge of, and complicity in, the overall design of, and preparations for, the 9/11 attacks, involving, but not limited to, facilitation of the hijackers' international travel, training and through Iran provision of safe haven for Al Qaeda after the attacks,’ the lawyers wrote.
They said the unidentified witnesses also provided testimony revealing that then-senior Hezbollah operative Imad Mughniyah had an integral role in the Iran-Hezbollah-Al Qaeda terror alliance.
One of the witnesses testified that Iran anticipated a retaliatory strike against Iran if its role in the 9/11 attacks was discovered. Mughniyah died in a car bombing in 2008.
The lawyers said it was necessary to file the testimony under seal because the witnesses have reason to fear for the safety of themselves and their families if the testimony became public.
News of the lawsuit comes almost three weeks after Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces at his compound in Pakistan.
