UN Rights Expert Denies Suggesting US Role in 9/11
January 28, 2011
A UN expert on human rights in the Palestinian territories on Friday denied that he endorsed claims of US government involvement in the September 11 attacks. “I wish to be absolutely clear; I do not endorse the theory that the US government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks,” Richard Falk said in a statement released by the UN human rights office. The United States on Tuesday demanded his dismissal for “noxious” comments over an alleged US cover-up.
