Fidel Castro says U.S. fooled world over 9/11
Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro said the U.S. government misinformed
Americans and the world about 9/11, echoing conspiracy theories about
the terror attacks against the United States six years ago.
In an essay read by a Cuban television presenter on Tuesday night,
Castro said the Pentagon was hit by a rocket, not a plane, because no
traces were found of its passengers.
"Today one knows there was deliberate misinformation," wrote Castro,
who has not appeared in public since July of 2006 when life-threatening
surgery for a secret illness forced him to hand over power to his
brother Raul Castro.
"Studying the impact of planes, similar to those that hit the Twin
Towers, that had accidentally fallen on densely populated cities, one
concludes that it was not a plane that crashed into the Pentagon,"
Castro said.
