Extract from Guardian, 10.10.01, Mohamed Heikal, the Arab world's foremost commentator, talking to Stephen Moss

a chink in the censorship:
'He also questions whether Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network were solely responsible for the September11 attacks..."Bin Laden does not have the capabilities for an operation of this magnitude....Bin Laden has been under surveillance for years: every telephone call was monitored and al-Qaida has been penetrated byAmerican ...Pakistani...Egyptian intelligence. They could
not have kept secret an operation that required such a degree of organisation and sophistication".....
There may, Heikal believes, be some as yet undiscovered element in the atrocity of September 11.
yes - like the terrorist state immolated its own citizens
