UK - BBC: al Qaeda is 'blamed' for 9/11

Despite the video of bin Laden claiming responsiblity, the video of the pilots who flew the planes on 9/11 meeting with bin Laden to read their last will and the investigations that proved al Qaeda was behind 9/11, the BBC says al Qaeda is "blamed" for 9/11. I can't copy and paste the text so here's a screen grab.



Got that? al Qaeda is "blamed" for 9/11 and "is thought to have links to radical groups in various parts of the world".

Not surprising really. The BBC did claim after all that al Qaeda doesn't exist.

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media.

The date of that startling claim by the BBC? 14 January, 2005, six months later that "illusion", that "myth" blew up in London's underground.

Click on the BBC's timeline and note the significant omissions.

For example, in 1991 while bin Laden was in Sudan the BBC fail to mention that Clinton had bin Laden but let him go.

Likewise, under 1993 and the first attack on the WTC, the BBC fails to mention that the al Qaeda ring leader of the plot, Yousef, came to the US on an Iraqi passport.

And on and on it goes.
