Claim al Qaida 'planted evidence'

Press Association
Thursday November 16, 2006 10:38 PM

A senior al Qaida operative deliberately planted evidence to encourage the United States into war against Iraq, it has been claimed.

The extraordinary allegation is made by a man who reportedly spent seven years inside the al Qaida terror network working as a spy for European intelligence agencies.

Omar Nasiri - not his real name - makes the claim, which is bound to re-ignite the controversy over the war, in an interview with the BBC's Newsnight programme.

He alleges that a senior al Qaida operative, Ibn Sheikh Al-Libi, deliberately planted information to get America to fight Iraq.

Al-Libi was captured by US forces in late 2001, handed over to the Egyptians and allegedly tortured, according to Newsnight.

Next they'll claim Al-Libi wrote Bush's SOTU speech.

2. Bushco was happy to comply
The neocon administration was eager for any evidence that would help them con the American people into Iraq. They didn't care where it came from, and I don't think it would have made a difference if they KNEW al Qaeda was trying to lure them.

With their arrogance and ambition, none of that mattered.
