Ahmadinejad: 9/11 a big lie, pretext to occupy Afghanistan

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insists the capitalist system, established by Israelis, is on verge of collapse, adding that the 9/11 was a set-up to occupy Afghanistan and wage a so-called 'war on terror.'

The president described the September 11, 2001 destruction of the twin World Trade Center buildings in New York as a preconceived "scenario and a sophisticated intelligence measure" and emphasized that the 9/11 incident was a "big lie intended to serve as a pretext for fighting terrorism and setting the grounds for sending troops to Afghanistan."

"Depredation, bullying and killing the reality of humanity are the outcomes of the capitalist way of thinking," Ahmadinejad said on Saturday.

He deplored crimes by arrogant powers, saying, "They carry out heinous killings and acts of terror in the world under the guise of [defending] human rights."

Dr. Ahmadinejad reiterated that with the advent of the Islamic Revolution the materialistic mentality was challenged and Marxism was destroyed.

"Today," he added, "With blessings from the Almighty, the Capitalist system, founded by the Zionists, has also reached an end."

The Iranian President then noted that "the aggression" by the US government and the deployment of forces to the region by NATO "was merely to rescue the liberal democratic establishment and the capitalist belief."

Referring to the recent arrest of the terrorist leader Abdomalek Rigi by Iranian intelligence forces, Dr. Ahmadinejad also noted that his capture indicates the extreme desperateness of the intelligence agencies of the US, Britain and the Israeli regime.

Rigi was captured by Iranian security forces on February 23. He was aboard a passenger jet flying to Kyrgyzstan from the UAE when his plane was grounded in the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.

A few hours after Rigi's arrest, Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said that the notorious villain was at a US base 24 hours prior to being captured by Iranian forces, adding that the Americans had issued an Afghan passport for him.

In his confessions, Rigi revealed details about his ties with some intelligence agencies such as the CIA and said that he had closely cooperated with the security services of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
