Well, if this isn't one of my favourite things this decade. Years of "Loose Change" conspiracy-mongering and general Jew-blaming must have been an annoyance to the people who were actually responsible. (Not least, many Saudis were keen to deflect attention from the origin of all but one of the 9/11 hijackers, even by means of self-deprecation bordering on self-harm: "This has to have been a Zionist plot. Saudis are not like this. Frankly, Saudis by themselves are not capable of launching a plot this sophisticated which requires this kind of training and technical capacity," said the governor of Riyadh Province.)

So finally, after one idiot too many shoots his mouth off about 9/11 being a "mysterious incident" and paints it as the insidest of jobs, al-Qaida can contain itself no longer and tells him to shut up. Oh, and the idiot in question is the president of Iran:

"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al-Qaida was behind 9/11 but rather, the US government. So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?" [Guardian]
