Top Iranian official admits for first time Iran aided al Qaeda terrorists
Iranian officials, in a first, have admitted to facilitating the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. by secretly aiding the free travel of al Qaeda operatives who eventually went on to fly commercial airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City, according to new remarks from a senior Iranian official.

However their movements were under the complete supervision of the Iranian intelligence," Larijani was quoted as saying.Read the rest of the story HERE.
