Lindy, let's not be too gullible. Pixels on a screen don't make a quote correct.

While I can imagine he dislikes the USA for indicting him over playing chess in Belgrade contrary to instructions, I'm not convinced that he could look fondly on the WTC destruction and mass murder.

Maybe the sentiment is representative but I don't believe the "I was happy" quote. Also, to talk of "finishing off the USA once and for all" is too absurd to be a quote - though I can imagine wacko Islamic jihadists saying it.

But I don't know what else he has said, so maybe it's all true and part of a long history and he wants to really tell the USA to go to hell for real or imagined grievances. Those comments will certainly make a lot of people angry.

He was certainly as spectacularly successful as Cassius Clay and also not going to be bullied by the USA government, and no doubt enraged by the attempts, so I imagine he could have said that stuff.

Sickening if true. Real Tim McVeigh stuff.
