Iran rejects NY judge’s finding that Tehran is liable in Sept. 11 attacks

From: GlobalMontreal.com / AP

Iran has rejected a New York judges finding that Tehran is liable in the Sept. 11 attacks along with the Taliban and al-Qaida.

According to state TV, Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman referred to last weeks judgment as “clumsy scenario-making” by the U.S.

The spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, repeated Irans insistence that al-Qaida has no presence in the country.

On Thursday, Judge George Daniels in Manhattan signed a default judgment finding Iran, the Taliban and al-Qaida liable in the 2001 attacks. The ruling came in a $100 billion lawsuit brought by family members of victims.

The findings also said Iran provides al-Qaida members a safe haven.

Irans President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly denied any Iranian connection to the Sept. 11 attacks or to al-Qaida.
