The 'Israeli newspaper Maariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 attacks had been beneficial for 'Israel'. "We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Maariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
Meanwhile, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad casted doubt over the U.S. version of the September 11 attacks Thursday, calling it a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.
"Under this pretext, they (the U.S.) attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then, a million people have been killed only in Iraq."
