| Binny sez he didn't do it |
| 2001-09-17 |
The elusive bin Laden issued a statement yesterday through the Arabic television network Al Jazeera, in Qatar, denying involvement. "I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," said bin Laden, whose current location is unknown to U.S. authorities. Administration officials dismissed the denial. Cheney said he had "no doubt that his organization played a significant role in this." But even Cheney cautioned against making bin Laden the sole focus, painting a frightening picture of an enemy with more tentacles, and more hiding places, than many Americans may understand – a notion with grave implications for any military action that lies ahead. |
