Ahmadinejad tells UN most blame US government for 9/11

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 24 — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the United Nations yesterday most people believe the US government was behind the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, prompting the US and European delegations to leave the hall in protest. Addressing the General Assembly, he said it was mostly US government officials and statesmen who believed al Qaeda Islamist militants carried out the suicide hijacking attacks that brought down New York’s World Trade Center — less than 6km from where the Iranian president was speaking.
Another theory, he said, was “that some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy, and its grips on the Middle East, in order to save the Zionist regime.” Ahmadinejad usually refers to Israel as the “Zionist regime.”
“The majority of the American people as well as most nations and politicians around the world agree with this view,” Ahmadinejad told the 192-nation assembly, calling on the United Nations to establish “an independent fact-finding group” to look into the events of Sept. 11.
As in past years, the US delegation walked out during Ahmadinejad’s speech. It was joined by all 27 European Union delegations and several other countries.
Mark Kornblau, spokesman for the US mission to the United Nations, said Ahmadinejad chose “to spout vile conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic slurs that are as abhorrent and delusional as they are predictable.”
White House spokesman Bill Burton said President Barack Obama thought the comments “utterly outrageous and offensive — especially in the city where the 9/11 attacks occurred.”
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the remarks were “outrageous and unacceptable.”
‘COVERED UP’
Ahmadinejad said some evidence that could support alternative theories had been “covered up” — passports located in the rubble and a video of an unknown individual who had been “involved in oil deals with some American officials.”
As he had in past years, the Iranian president used the General Assembly podium to attack Iran’s other archfoe, Israel, and to defend the right of his country to a nuclear program that Western powers fear is aimed at developing arms.
“This regime (Israel), which enjoys the absolute support of some Western countries, regularly threatens the countries in the region and continues publicly announced assassination of Palestinian figures and others, while Palestinian defenders ... are labelled as terrorists and anti-Semites,” he said.
“All values, even the freedom of expression, in Europe and the United States are being sacrificed at the altar of Zionism,” Ahmadinejad said.
The Iranian president previously raised doubts about the Holocaust of the Jews in World War Two and said Israel had no right to exist.
Tehran has been hit with four rounds of UN sanctions for refusing to halt its nuclear enrichment program. Obama earlier told the assembly the door to diplomacy was still open for Iran, but it needed to prove its atomic program is peaceful, as it says it is.
Two days ago, foreign ministers from the five permanent UN Security Council members and Germany said they hoped for a negotiated solution to the standoff with Tehran.
Ahmadinejad criticised the Security Council for imposing sanctions on his country, saying the penalties were “destroying the remaining credibility” of the 15-nation body. — Reuters

Nuklear: Pandangan rakyat diabaikan lagi?

Sep 24, 10 11:57am

Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang (CAP) dan Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) melahirkan rasa terkejut kerana mendapati kerajaan sudah pun memutuskan cadangan program tenaga nuklear sepertimana yang dimasukkan ke dalam salah satu 131 projek Program Transformasi Ekonomi (ETP).

Rancangan itu didedahkan kepada orang ramai pada 21 September lalu.

“Kami ingin mengingatkan kembali bahawa Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak telah menyatakan dalam blog 1Malaysia berikutan bantahan orang ramai terhadap pembinaan loji tenaga nuklear bahawa beliau akan mendapatkan pandangan orang ramai berhubung perkara itu.

“Sehingga ke hari ini, kami masih belum melihat sebarang perbahasan yang bermakna dan proses rundingan awam sebenar oleh kerajaan,” kata presiden CAP dan SAM, SM Mohamed Idris dalam satu kenyataan.

Menurut Mohamed, apa yang dipanggil forum dan perbahasan awam yang sebahagian besarnya dianjurkan oleh Agensi Nuklear Malaysia bukan platform neutral untuk mendapatkan pandangan awam.

“Perlu diingatkan bahawa mereka yang menghadiri forum itu adalah terdiri daripada kakitangan agensi dan pegawai kerajaan daripada jabatan yang berkaitan dan panel perbincangan datangnya daripada agensi ini.

“Agensi Nuklear Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) dan Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air (Kttha) merupakan pihak yang mempunyai kepentingan dan agenda terbuka dalam menyokong loji tenaga nuklear sepertimana yang ditunjukkan melalui kenyataan umum mereka setakat ini,” katanya.

Pada Julai lalu, Menteri Kttha, Datuk Peter Chin dilaporkan berkata kerajaan akan hanya membuat keputusan akhir berhubung tenaga nuklear selepas mengkaji hasil penemuan Rancangan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Tenaga Nuklear yang dijadualkan siap pada 2013.

“CAP dan SAM ingin mengetahui jika keputusan kerajaan dimaklumkan oleh penemuan ini jika ia telah pun diperolehi. Jika demikian masyarakat awam Malaysia dan orang ramai perlu dimaklumkan. Jika tidak, kenapa tergesa-gesa untuk meneruskan dengan rancangan pembinaan loji tenaga nuklear, “ soalnya.
