The Al Jazeera television network is touting the latest campaign trail rhetoric from presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark to exonerate al-Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks.
In a report posted to the top of its Web site Wednesday afternoon, the Arab-based news service ran the headline "Clark: No al-Qaeda connection to 9/11."
"A leading US Democrat and presidential hopeful has said in a press conference that al-Qaeda was not connected to the 11 September attacks," Al Jazeera maintained.
The report continued:
"Speaking in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, Wesley Clark said that the US president took the country to war for party-ideological reasons. ...
"Clark added that nothing said by the intelligence services to date had proven any connection between the Islamist organisation and the destruction of the World Trade Towers.
"'I did not believe then that al-Qaeda was involved in 9/11,'" Al Jazeera quoted Clark as saying. "'I do not believe it now.'"
Reached at Gen. Clark's Little Rock campaign headquarters, campaign spokesman Bill Buck told NewsMax, "Those quotes are inaccurate and do not represent the views of Gen. Clark."
