Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the US took advantage of the 'suspicious' September 11 attacks to justify its occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, President Ahmadinejad drew attention to the growing number of civilian and military deaths caused by the US-led "war on terror" in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"It was said that some three thousands people were killed on September 11 for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding," the Iranian president said.
He went on to raise doubts about the credibility of the US government's account of the source and nature of the 9/11 attacks indicating that "a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack."
