Ahmadinejad commemorates 9/11

While the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks were being commemorated around the globe, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chose to participate in the remembrances in his own inimitable and subtle way – that is, by re-iterating his belief that it all a US plot to have an excuse to kill Muslims.

Here’s what he chose to say:

“The Sept. 11 [attacks] were actually a planned game to provoke the human community’s sentiments and find an excuse for launching attack on Muslim regions and occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, which led to the massacre of 1 million innocent people.”
