Court Filings Assert Iran Had Link to 9/11 Attacks
NY Times / BENJAMIN WEISER and SCOTT SHANE
20-May-2011 (16 comments)

Two defectors from Iran’s intelligence service have testified that Iranian officials had “foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks,” according to a court filing Thursday in a federal lawsuit in Manhattan that seeks damages for Iran’s “direct support for, and sponsorship of, the most deadly act of terrorism in American history.”

One of the defectors also claimed that Iran was involved in planning the attacks, the filing said. The defectors’ identities and testimony were not revealed in the filing but were being submitted to a judge under seal, said lawyers who brought the original suit against Iran on behalf of families of dozens of 9/11 victims.

According to Associated Press, 9/11 families wanted Iran to pay for damages:

I don't get the impression that US wanted to bomb Iran based on defectors' revelation.

wait a minute

I have seen many youtube videos that "proves" it was Israeli or American government plan. Should I take these guys "word" over them?

the fact that Jewish writers took the oppertunity to attack Iran using NY Times, tells you how much Israel is itching to bomb Iran. on the other hand i think mammad has something. browsing this site you can see that iranians are willing to harm iran more than most americans!! 

who is going to argue that? have you read mahmoudg's comments? these guys are mahmoudg in u.s. court.

mammad, take a deep breath...

Hold it in, then slooowli breath it out. Calmer? Good! Now read carefully:

This is  a law suite in a US court of law. It'll go through it's normal process and we'll all find out who is a terrorist, who is a turncoat, and who "does anything to "earn" a living", all in due course. In the end of the day, we, the people of Iran will win and the fascist islamist regime and their gang of paid rent a mouth , shameless, traitor foreign based agents  will lose. That , I am 100% sure of.

Now go get some rest, looks like you need it.

Pure BS by turncoats

by Mammad on Fri May 20, 2011 10:53 PM PDT

Even neocons have not made such far fetched lies. But Iranian turncoats, similar to the Iraqi Curveball who confessed to his lies on national TV during 60 Minutes program, are willing to say anything to "earn" a living.

now we need to move our troops closer to the Iranian border and very gingerly drop our bombs on the sites we know exist.  The IRGC, the Basij and the regime elite's hideouts, and I gurantee you the good people of Iran will take care of the rest.

Saddam was the most evil of all but he had no role in 9 /11 ..... or had any weapons of mass destructions .... yet they lied about it and started a war !!

now they are doing the same thing and this time with Iran .....

Who gives them the right to lie and get away with it ?..... I do not care how bad IRI is and I won't buy these shits just because IRI is my enemy ...

You  should know better ....

I am just curious if the defectors are Shahran Amiri type of figures? Did they receive money for their information?
