He didn't admit, but some of the people convicted did. Also the guy that came across the board on Dec 31 2000 was associated with him. He didn't have to pull the trigger to be guilty.

Jane's Analysis:
http://www.janes.com/security/internationa...10911_1_n.shtml

"Based upon our specialist analysis, we have identified the following as potential suspects:

Osama bin Laden and Al-Qa'eda ("the Base")
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)
Saddam Hussein"

"Our concern must be that these attacks are only the start of a far-reaching campaign against the US and its main allies, including Britain and Saudi Arabia. Although today's devastation in Manhattan and Washington has been appalling, the real fear is whether extremist Islamicist groups could ever get access to nuclear material and build a rudimentary - but nonetheless deadly - device. Afghan-stan borders the former Soviet Union, the successor states of which have undoubtedly the world's least secure stockpiles of weapons-grade nuclear material. "

F'ing scary.

Now is not the time to speculate who is to blame, rather to clean up the mess first and enforce defence and countermeasures. I just hope this does not spark WWIII.

I posted this in the first thread about the tragedy.........but had to post it again here as I see it pertaining to the subject.

Majority of the Palestenians are unarmed........ (Fact)

Majority of the Israelis are armed.......(Fact)

As I'm sure most of you know by now, more Palestenians were killed by Israelis (for whatever the reason is).......

The US Gov yesterday made statements strongly supporting the Israelis.......(it took that position before as well, not only by making statements, but supplying huge financial support)

That is why you saw some Palestenians cheering today (which I thought was sickening)...........

It is also premature to assume that Afghanistan or Osama Bin Laden is behind what took place today..........

What took place today required a massive amount of planning and organization, not to mention rousources way beyond the reach of Palestenians or a poor country like Afghanistan........

I am not defending anyone here, I actually detest the extremest, non Islamic behavior that someone like Osama Bin Laden and this Taleban group have shown in the past...........

I can't stand this BS with CNN talking constantly about how everything points to Osama Bin Laden, the same BS was said when the Oklahoma city bombing took place but then what do you know?!, it wasn't an Arab or Islamic attack like it was being assumed at the time..........

Of course we have to drill it in people's head that anything or anyone associated with Arabs or Islam is a TERRORIST MONSTER, that is why we keep talking about and analyzing the WTC bombing in 93 and comletely forget about (and not even mention) the bombing in Oklahoma city...............yes that is what the media here does and I am ****ING SICK OF IT.

I'm sorry to say this, but some of you made premature assumptions based on what you saw on TV today (i.e. you saw Palestenians cheering, but you never saw them getting their asses killed)............yes, the media has been showing one side of the story, and unfortunatly, the public blindly believes that one side. The group that is behind what happened today can be from any race and religion; I never assumed that all white folks are nuts (or evil) because of what Hitler or the Oklahoma city bomber did and therefore did not assume that it was a white person or a christian or whatever.

sorry.........had to vent...........

I work in 570 Washington St, about 5 minutes away (by car) from the WTC, I am okay, I actually never made it in the city this morning, but saw most of what happened on the bus nearby the Lincoln tunnel.............very very sad.

I pary that whomever did this will be brought to justice and that they recieve the maximum penalty and punishment possible.

What happened today was tragic, to say the least, tragic and very very sad...........God rest the souls of all the victims, may God grant their families patience to live through this.

Kill everyone even remotely linked to this. Make this killing severe and decisive. Send a message that this will not be tolerated in any way. Also, even if Bin laden didn't do this, he sure has done other things in the past, so he and his followers should be gotten rid of. Many middle east people have no regard for human life, so neither should we (when it comes to this manner). If any government condoned this, there country should be flattened.
