Re: Israel sure is trying to stir up war. First with the Palestinians, now with the Lebanese... ...and Iran: Bush hits Iran for aid to al Qaeda By Joseph Curl THE WASHINGTON TIMES President Bush yesterday accused Iran of harboring and aiding top al Qaeda terrorists, but he stopped short of charging that Tehran was directly involved in the September 11 attacks. Using stern language against a nation that he has labeled a member of an "axis of evil," the president said his administration is examining whether Iran had any connection with the 2001 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. "We're digging into the facts to determine if there was one," Mr. Bush said from the Oval Office. "They're harboring al Qaeda leadership there, and we've asked that they be turned over to their respective countries." But the president reiterated that acting CIA Director John McLaughlin has said, "There was no direct connection between Iran and the attacks of September the 11th." Nevertheless, Mr. Bush vowed to "continue to look and see if the Iranians were involved." Reports emerged yesterday that an Iranian general collaborated with al Qaeda to arrange the transit through Iran of nine of the September 11 hijackers. The Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported that the Iranian general coordinated with "the No. 2 man in al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahri, to provide 'safe passage' to around nine of those who carried out the attacks." A report to be released on Thursday by the September 11 commission also reportedly includes evidence that some of the hijackers passed through Iran on their way to the United States.
