Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejects the US government’s account of the 9/11 attacks for the second time (see April 17, 2008), this time calling the attacks a “fabrication” during a meeting with Iranian intelligence officials. “The September 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan,” says Ahmadinejad.
