Al-Qaida

"Was Al-Qaida merely a scapegoat?"

The terrorist network founded by Osama bin Laden famously carried out the 9/11 attacks. Despite overwhelming evidence, the 9/11 Truth Movement believes in an alternative version: Corrupt elements within the US government were responsible for planning and executing the attacks (MIHOP thesis) or at least had foreknowledge and did nothing to prevent them (LIHOP thesis). According to them, Al-Qaeda was merely an accomplice or scapegoat. Some even speculate that Al-Qaeda was specifically trained by the CIA for false flag attacks. They point to alleged inconsistencies in the official version, such as the omission of witnesses who reported hearing explosions or the discovery of nanothermite in the rubble, indicating a controlled demolition.
