Ahmadinejad's comments, made during an address to Intelligence Ministry staff, come amid escalating tensions between the West and Tehran over its disputed nuclear program. They show that Iran has no intention of toning itself down even with tighter sanctions looming because of its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.
"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."
The Iranian president has questioned the official U.S. version of the Sept. 11 attacks before, but this is the first time he ventured to label it a "big lie."

"Big Lie"?
by fussygorilla on Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:34 PM PSTHow awful of Ahmadi to utter such stupid words. I suspect either he is going bunkers or some of his advisors are trying to sabotage him by such nonsensical advice. I thought ahmadi was smarter than this. Can someone please translate the Really uttered words he used? I hope it has been mistranslation like in the case of what he had said on the holocaust.
