Bush to Further Investigate Iran’s Possible Connection to Sept.11

I have expressed my concerns about Iran for a long time. In addition to that, it is a totalitarian society which does not allow people to practice their rights." US Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) Acting Director, John McLaughlin, has reported that eight of the September 11th hijackers passed through Iranian lands before the attacks. Bush added, "As to a direct connection between them and September 11th, we are still investigating the issue."

Elsewhere, Time Magazine reported that according to officials, the Commission report investigating the September 11th attacks indicates that eight to ten of the hijackers conducting the attacks passed through Iran in October of 2000 and February of 2001.
