Ahmadinejad delivered a speech at the Intelligence Department that day. He said that the "9*11" incident which happened in New York, America was a scene "conceived and directed by the Americans." The Islamic Republic News Agency of Iran quoted Ahmadinejad as reporting that the "9*11" incident was an event staged by the Americans themselves, in order to provide a pretext for launching the anti-terrorism war, and to have a reason for invading Afghanistan.
