Is there any evidence that bin Laden was behind 9/11?

Question

I'm not offering a conspiracy, I'm not accusing the President.

Simply, Is there any evidence linking bin Laden to 9/11?

what confession?

No Brian, they don't. You believe everything you see?

No Luis, you offered a synopsis of the events. That's not evidence.

According to posts and answers it seems bin Laden takes responsibility as the leader of the terrorist network who pulled off 9-11. I don't think it was his idea though. Still, like some say here, it doesn't matter. He's a terrorist and wants us dead.

Answer 1

I guess his video taped confession might qualify as proof............

Answer 2

Confession on video tape is not even close to being proof. It amazes me that so many people fall for that.

Consider this:
- The Bin Ladin family and the Bush family are long-tim business partners and friends.
- Osama has been a CIA operative
- All members of the Bin Ladin family were quickly sent on a plane out of the US during the time all flights were grounded right after 9/11. None were ever interviewed or investigated by the FBI, CIA, or what have you regarding thier brother.
- Instead of trying to catch Osama, Bush Admin goes after Iraq. It is evident that there is no intention of catching Osama

Answer 3

No there is no Hard evidence that Osama Bin Laden was behind 9-11.

There is a tape of a Man claiming to be OBL declaring it was his plan.

But I have seen no hard core facts.

Answer 4

Well he did issue a tape saying he was responsible for it. On top of that, the 19 highjackers were part of the terrorist organization of Al Qaida. In order for an attack like that to take place, it would have have the confirmation of it's leader, which in this case was Bin Laden.

Answer 5

He heads al-Qaeda and all the hijackers were also al-Qaeda. Some of his close deputies have taken credit for 9/11. I simply do not think Bush ordered those planes to fly into the WTC or the Pentagon. There is no tangible evidence of that either.

Answer 6

Yes maybe that video footage of him saying he is:

"In the footage, shot in the Afghan mountains at the end of October, a smiling bin Laden goes on to say that the World Trade Centre's twin towers were a "legitimate target" and the pilots who hijacked the planes were "blessed by Allah".

The killing of at least 4,537 people was justified, he claims, because they were "not civilians" but were working for the American system.

Bin Laden also makes a direct personal threat against Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, for the first time, and warns nations such as Australia, Germany and Japan to stay out of the conflict. . ."

Answer 7

no longer a shred. The confession video is a shoddy forgery making use of an unconvincing Osama-double. the hot "Al Qaeda" tapes are being positioned out by ability of Adam Yehiye Gadahn, who additionally is going by ability of the call Azzam al-Amriki. His actual call is Adam Pearlman, grandson of Carl Pearlman, former member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which grew to become into caught spying on individuals for Israel in 1993. the greater youthful Pearlman suggested Muslims as “bloodthirsty, barbaric terrorists.” He grew to become right into a hardcore Jewish Zionist and wrote essays and screeds bashing the Muslim faith. He even have been given into fights at mosques and beat up Muslim worshippers. that's your BOOGEYMAN al qaeda. Get it?

Answer 8

The September 11, 2001 attacks consisted of a series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks
by Islamic extremists on that date upon the United States of America. That morning nineteen terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers crashed a third airliner (American Airlines Flight 77) into the Pentagon in Arlington County,
Virginia, near Washington, D.C. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft
(United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane
crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In addition to the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died as an immediate result of the attacks, and
the death of at least one person from lung disease was ruled by a medical examiner to be
a result of exposure to WTC dust.

Answer 9

Let's see, the video tape where he said they knew it was going to be good but when the whole thing fell it was a gift from Allah and the one or two tapes that showed a couple of the hijackers praising OBL and explaining why they flew those planes into the WTC so yes, I'd say there was plenty of evidence.

Answer 10

There is....the CIA, NSA, and FBI as well as global intelligence agencies reported that Al Qaeda was planning to attack the United States and that Bin Laden was recruiting and organizing for this attack to take place. Unfortunately, the President did not take the report seriously or simply ignored it.

Answer 11

Known Al Qaeda members were on each of the planes. Osama and others in Al Qaeda have admitted and given evidence of how the attacks were planned. They've been releasing videos of the hijackers giving their last testaments before the operation. Case closed.
