Denial Bin Laden
Bin Laden denied involvement with the 9/11 attacks five days later on the Al-Jazeera satellite channel:
"I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation ... "
This denial was broadcasted worldwide, but the Bush administration urged media in the U.S. not to show the video since it might contain secret signals to Al Qaeda terrorists.
On September 28, 2001 in the Pakistani newspaper Daily Ummat [7], bin Laden again denied any involvement with the attacks, and suggested he was being framed:
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as a appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people ..."
"There exists a government within the government of the United States. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out these attacks. The United States should trace the perpetrators of these attacks to those persons who want to make the present century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own nation could surivive."
