1 First of all what does the murder of Ahmed Shah Massud have to do with 9/11, second of all how did the author establish that these murders were in fact commited by Algerians who were also members of Al-queda. And then the conclusion is even more hilarious; a justification of tracking phone records. Attila: Can you please find some people who have some insight or is the plan to blindly push an agenda.

2 I think the timing of Massud's assassination is pretty clear. The idea was to take out the strongest resistance leader in Afghanistan before the 9/11 assault on the U.S. in a plan to draw us into a war AQ felt we were guaranteed to lose. If you have an alternate theory, I'd love to hear it, but you'll recall that at the time AQ and the Taliban were nearly joined at the hip . . . It's hard to envision a scenario under which the two attacks weren't coordinated.

3 Yes I do, think about it, AQ uses suicide bombs, and easy woulod be to get an afghani. The journalists who have come from outside with the sophistication of concealing a bomb in a camera can only be from a big organisation like CIA, KGB or Mossad. Not the signature of AQ. Also Taliban were already incharge and were grateful to Massood for helping them get in power. Now who would interested in invading afghanistan and getting rid of a strong resistence fighter and a leader? You connect the dots. That is why the web is full of this story of the Afghan hero, is it the Afghanis who are writing this story, look at each site and it is from the west. Cheers
