The official government report on the events leading up to the attacks, known as the 9/11 Commission report, states undermines Pence.
Vice President Mike Pence on Friday incorrectly and misleadingly linked Iran to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in a series of tweets aimed at justifying the assassination of Iran's top general the day prior.
But the official government report on the events leading up to the attacks, known as the 9/11 Commission report, undermines Pence. There were 19 hijackers on 9/11 — 15 from Saudi Arabia, one from Egypt, one from Lebanon, and two from the United Arab Emirates. Story continuesThe law, which was intended to give former President George W. Bush authority to go after those responsible for 9/11, has been loosely interpreted to effectively grant presidents carte blanche to wage war across the globe — it has been used by three presidents to justify dozens of operations in 19 countries."The factual question with respect to Iran's connections to al Qaeda is very real.
"The examined documents provide no evidence of cooperation between [al Qaeda] and Iran on planning or carrying out terrorist attacks," the study states.
