The Al-Qa'idah group had nothing to do with the 11 September attacks


The Al-Qa'idah group had nothing to do with the 11 September attacks on the USA,
according to Usamah Bin-Ladin in an interview with the Pakistani paper Ummat.

The Al-Qa’idah group had nothing to do with the 11 September attacks on the USA,
according to Usamah Bin-Ladin in an interview with the Pakistani paper Ummat. Usamah
Bin-Ladin went on to suggest that Jews or US secret services were behind the attacks,
and to express gratitude and support for Pakistan, urging Pakistan’s people to jihad against
the West. The following is the text of an interview conducted by a “special correspondent”,
published Pakistani newspaper Ummat on 28 September, place and date of interview not
given. The first paragraph is Ummat’s introduction.

Kabul: Prominent Arab mojahed [holy warrior] Usamah Bin-Ladin has said that he or his
al-Qa’idah group has nothing to do with the 11 September suicidal attacks in Washington
and New York. He said the US government should find the attackers within the country. In
an exclusive interview with daily “Ummat”, he said these attacks could be the act of those
who are part of the American system and are rebelling against it and working for some
other system. Or, Usamah said, this could be the act of those who want to make the
current century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity.

Or, the American Jews, who are opposed to President Bush ever since the Florida
elections, might be the masterminds of this act. There is also a great possibility of the
involvement of US intelligence agencies, which need billions of dollars worth of funds
every year. He said there is a government within the government in the United States. The
secret agencies, he said, should be asked as to who are behind the attacks. Usamah said
support for attack on Afghanistan was a matter of need for some Muslim countries and
compulsion for others. However, he said, he was thankful to the courageous people of
Pakistan who erected a bulwark before the wrong forces. He added that the Islamic world
was attaching great expectations with Pakistan and, in time of need, “we will protect this
bulwark by sacrificing of lives”. Following is the interview in full detail:

Ummat: You have been accused of involvement in the attacks in New York and
Washington. What do you want to say about this? If you are not involved, who might be?

Usamah: In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. Praise be to Allah,
Who is the creator of the whole universe and Who Made the earth as an abode for peace,
for the whole mankind. Allah is the Sustainer, who sent Prophet Muhammad for our
guidance. I am thankful to The Ummat Group of Publications, which gave me the opportunity
to convey my viewpoint to the people, particularly the valiant and Momin [true Muslim]
people of Pakistan who refused to believe in lie of the demon. I have already said that I am
not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to
avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of
innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids
causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden
ever in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every
maltreatment on women, children, and common people of other faiths, particularly the
followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call
the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel. There is also a warning for those
Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier been
done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya, and Bosnia? Only one conclusion could be
derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror and
the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and it
is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just a show,
rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is forcing them to
play a role of its choice. Put a glance all around and you will see that the slaves of the
United States are either rulers or enemies [of Muslims].

The US has no friends, nor does it want to keep any because the prerequisite of friendship
is to come to the level of the friend or consider him at par with you. America does not want
to see anyone equal to it. It expects slavery from others. Therefore, other countries are
either its slaves or subordinates. However, our case is different. We have pledged slavery
to God Almighty alone and after this pledge there is no possibility to become the slave of
someone else. If we do that, it will be disregardful to both our Sustainer and his fellow
beings. Most of the world nations upholding their freedom are the religious ones, which are
the enemies of United States, or the latter itself considers them as its enemies. Or

The countries, which do not agree to become its slaves, such as China, Iran, Libya, Cuba,
Syria, and the former Russia [as received]. Whoever committed the act of 11 September
are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the
American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American
people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than
what the US government has stated. But the Bush administration does not want the panic
to spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within
itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those
who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century
as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation,
country, or ideology could survive. They can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from
India to Serbia. In the US itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped
groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction. Then you cannot forget
the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in
Florida and want to avenge him. Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which
require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every
year. This [funding issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet
Union but after that the budget of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an
enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usamah and Taleban and then this
incident happened. You see, the Bush administration approved a budget of 40bn dollars.
Where will this huge amount go? It will be provided to the same agencies, which need huge
funds and want to exert their importance. Now they will spend the money for their
expansion and for increasing their importance. I will give you an example. Drug smugglers
from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not
want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be
diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade
so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General
Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat. In the
same way, whether it is President Bush or any other US president, they cannot bring Israel
to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is
this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates?
That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.
