Egyptian Salafi Muhammad Al-Zawahiri, Brother Of Al-Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Explains and Justifies 9/11
Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian Salafi Muhammad Al-Zawahiri, the brother of Al-Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, which aired on the Al-Jazeera network on August 1, 2012.
"The Success Of The Arab Revolutions Was Solely Because Of The Actions Of The Jihadi Salafi Movement"
Muhammad Al-Zawahiri: "We in Al-Qaeda are bound by the laws of the shari'a, and we reject and condemn any killing that is prohibited by the shari'a.
"Unfortunately, however, the media portrays our operations falsely. For example, they say about operations carried out in the West: 'Civilians were killed. Muslims and children were killed.' They say that children were killed in 9/11. The head of an FBI division was killed in 9/11, but this is never mentioned. [...]
"The success of the Arab revolutions was solely because of the actions of the jihadi Salafi movement."

Palestinian Columnist: 9/11 – An American-Israeli Plot
Palestinian journalist and commentator Nawwaf Al-Zarou, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in Israel in 1968 and released in 1979 as part of a prisoner exchange, resides in Jordan and writes a regular column for the daily Al-Arab Al-Yawm. In his February 16, 2012 column, he blamed Israel for the events of 9/11 and for all other terrorist attacks in the world. He hinted that Israel and the U.S. were responsible for the February 2012 attacks on the Israeli embassies in India and Georgia, which he said served their interests. He added that the October 2011 Iranian assassination plot against the Saudi ambassador to Washington was likewise a fabrication that served the American-Israeli campaign against Iran.
It should be noted that parts of the article that deal with Israel's alleged responsibility for 9/11 are recycled from an earlier and longer article by Al-Zarou, which was published on Aljazeera.net on September 15, 2011 to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, in which he blamed both Israel and the U.S. for the 9/11 attacks. Other versions of the same article were published on 9/11 anniversaries in 2010, 2008 and 2007.
