Ahmadinejad to UN: Hey, let's investigate 9/11

In a letter to the secretary general, Mr. Ahmadinejad asked him to “form an independent fact-finding committee trusted by regional countries on major elements behind [the] September 11 attack which was carried out as the main pretext to attack the Middle East,” according to the Iranian Students News Agency…

A somewhat muddled translation of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s letter on the Iranian news agency’s Web site suggests that he made an oblique reference to the killing of protesters during the violent crackdown on dissent after Iran’s dispute election last year. Accusing Western media organizations of being part of a plot against his country, Mr. Ahmadinejad wrote that they “use a small mistake of a police officer — in countries that defy hegemony and imperialistic policies — to raise loud and deafening cries pretending to be in deep grief for human rights abuse.”
