MUSHARRAF'S MUSINGS: Osama not behind 9/11

Press Trust of India

New York, August 5: Nearly a year after hijacked planes killed more than 3,000 people in the US, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, a key ally in the US-led war against terror, is not convinced that al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was behind the September 11 attacks.

Though the US blames bin Laden and his terrorist network for the attacks that destroyed New York's World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon in Washington, Musharraf said the elusive terror suspect may not have masterminded the attacks.

"I didn't think it possible for Osama sitting up there in the mountains could do it. He was perhaps the sponsor, the financier, the motivating force," Musharraf told the New Yorker in an interview in the magazine's issue appearing on Monday.

He said those who executed the attacks were much more modern. "They knew the US, they knew aviation. I don't think he (bin Laden) has the intelligence or the minute planning. The planner was someone else."

After the attacks, Washington turned to Pakistan for help in its bid to crush the al-Qaeda network and sees the Pakistani President as a key ally in its war on terrorism.
