9/11, conspiracy theories

Hours later, WTC 7 was completely engulfed

by  • 

Who are you going to believe about the collapse of WTC 7, some conspiracy theorist or FDNY Battalion Chief Richard Picciotto? He was coming down the stairs of the North Tower with several others when the building he was in collapsed. They were trapped for five and half hours until they saw light above them and climbed out. Earlier this week, Chief Picciotto described to WRAL TV what he then saw:

“It was like out of the frying pan and into the fire because we’re in the rubble field. This is hours later. We don’t see a single person. The surrounding buildings are all on fire — 4 World Trade Center, 5, 6, 7 World Trade Center.

“7 World Trade Center is a 48-story building, was completely engulfed, with fire out of every window.”

From where he stood, Chief Picciotto saw the south face of WTC 7. He confirms what many others there that day describe as a building heavily damaged and in flames. It collapsed after being evacuated, the rubble and danger of another collapse caused the FDNY to pull back, and burning uncontested for most of the day. Far too many had already died.

‘Flying Imam’ and the company he keeps

Today, in FrontPage magazine:

The President of NAIF (and one of the removed imams) is Omar Shahin. Before NAIF’s founding in 2004, Shahin was the imam and President of the Islamic Center of Tucson (ICT), a mosque that represented one of Al-Qaeda’s main hubs in America, prior to the ‘93 attack. One of Shahin’s predecessors at the mosque was Wael Hamza Julaidan, a former colleague of Osama bin Laden and bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam. Shahin, himself, has admitted to once supporting bin Laden.

Throughout his time with and after leaving ICT, Shahin was involved in terror financing organizations. He was the Arizona Coordinator for the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a Hamas charity whose funds were frozen by the U.S. government soon after 9/11. Under his leadership, thousands of dollars were raised for HLF through ICT. As well, Shahin was a representative for Kind Hearts, another Hamas charity that was shut down by the U.S. (February 2006). In both cases, Shahin walked free.
