This is NOT satire! Bin Laden ordered a satellite TV dish to watch 9/11 attacks... but couldn't get a signal from his mountain cave!

Osama Bin Laden requested a satellite TV dish be installed in his Afghanistan hideaway so he could watch the September 11, 2001 terror attacks as they happened, according to his former bodyguard.

But the Al Qaeda leader was unable to get a signal in the mountainous terrain surrounding his base in Kandahar so couldn't watch the two hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center in New York, claimed Nasser Al Bahri.

The 37-year-old said: 'He asked for satellite TV to be able to follow the bombing.'

Mr Al Bahri, who was known as Abu Jandal (The Killer), served Bin Laden for three years before being arrested in Yemen ahead of the 9/11 attacks.

But he claims to know Bin Laden told his media chief Hassan Al-Bahloul: 'It is very important that we are able to watch the news today.'

Bin Laden also instructed Mr Al Bahri to shoot him dead if he was on the verge of being captured by Western forces, the former bodyguard said.

'I would rather receive two bullets in the head than to be taken prisoner,' he told him. 'I want to die a martyr, but certainly not in prison.'

Mr Al Bahri, who has renounced his extremist past, now regrets not having shot Bin Laden dead when he had the chance.

He said: 'Today I wish I had used it (the gun), but at the time he was someone very important for me.'

'Jihad is not about attacking civilians,' he added.

Comment: Remember that Bin Laden strenuously denied any involvement in 9/11 in the immediate aftermath of the NeoCons' "new Pearl harbor":

Bin Laden says he wasn't behind 911 attacks

9/11 rescuers' lungs still not getting better: Dust from towers' collapse likely cause

Most of the New York City firefighters and medics whose lungs were damaged by pulverized masonry and glass from the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center are not improving as time goes by, according to a new study.

The results are based on breathing tests from nearly 11,000 firefighters who were at ground zero in the first two weeks when the dust cloud was thickest. Of the firefighters who didn't smoke, 13 percent were still scoring below normal up to seven years later, the study found.

That number was down from 18 percent who initially tested below normal after the attack, said researchers at the New York City Fire Department and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Among emergency medical technicians, the numbers were worse. Of the nearly 2,000 EMTs included in the analysis, 22 percent of the nonsmokers scored below normal on their most recent breathing test.

The research, in today's New England Journal of Medicine, dims hopes that workers who developed respiratory problems after being exposed to the trade center's remnants would gradually return to normal.

911 Dispatcher Gives Birth on 9-11 at 9:11

Puyallup, Washington - A 911 dispatcher gave birth on Friday, Sept. 11, at 9:11 p.m.

TaMara Sheppard of Tacoma started labor around noon and arrived at Puyallup's Good Samaritan Hospital at 7:30 p.m. before delivering baby Nina Morgan.

Sheppard had been scheduled for induced labor on Monday, but Nina Morgan decided to make an early grand entrance.

"The last time I looked at the clock (in the delivery room), the little hand was on nine and the big one was on eleven," Sheppard said. Then the doctor told her to push.

Recovering in the hospital on Saturday, Sheppard took the prodigious timing in stride. "It never even crossed my mind until my husband said, 'you're a 911 dispatcher, you had a baby on 9/11 at 9:11.'"

She cheekily added: "We were hoping she was 9 pounds, 11 ounces, on top of that."

New Zealand Journalist Held In A Psychiatric Ward: Called "Delusional" For Saying 9/11 Was An Inside Job

I was wrongly diagnosed as delusional by the psychiatric staff of Ward 7 at Northland Base Hospital in Whangarei and held against my will for 11 days in mid-2006, because I maintained the attacks of 9/11 were orchestrated by criminal elements inside the US Administration.

A definition of delusional: relating to, based on, or affected by delusions. A delusion: a false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness.

In light of the definition, one of the most astounding aspects to the ordeal was that when I met with the chief psychiatrist, Dr Carlos Zubaran for two formal mental health assessments, I held Issue 3 of Uncensored, which is shown in the picture above, and asked him to look at information related to the 9/11 attacks. This magazine contained an article I'd written entitled: Why Does TVNZ Lie To Us About 9/11?, which cited evidence which proved the official fable was a lie. Yet reminiscent of the fabled vampires afraid of the light of day, he refused to even cast his eyes over it during both of the so-called "assessments."

Downplaying! Cancer Found in Young 9/11 Rescuers

Researchers say a small number of young law enforcement officers who participated in the World Trade Center rescue and cleanup operation have developed an immune system cancer.

The numbers are tiny, and experts don't know whether there is any link between the illnesses and toxins released during the disaster.

Study Finds Post-Traumatic Stress From 9/11 Increasing

The number of people who have reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of being directly exposed to the World Trade Center attacks has increased over time, according to a new study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, based on a survey of 50,000 people conducted five to six years after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Overall, 19 percent of those surveyed in 2006-7 said they had developed post-traumatic stress symptoms in the five to six years after the attack, up from 14 percent in the first survey done of the group, two to three years after the attack. The increase was seen across the board - in rescue workers, office employees, residents and passers-by - but the sharpest jump was reported in the rescue workers.

SOTT Focus: Above Top Secret! Clear Evidence that Flight 77 Hit The Pentagon on 9/11

With so much debate going on over what really happened at the Pentagon on 9/11, and the obvious dire lack of coherent commentators to put and end to it once and for all, I decided that it was high time that I added my own reality-based voice to the debate and, in doing so, allow common sense to finally prevail over the ranting of wild-eyed, missing link type conspiracy theorists and liberals alike.

Despite the countless reams of electronic paper that have been wasted on the inane back and forward over what did or did not happen, the task of showing just what hit the Pentagon could not be easier, which makes it difficult to understand why the debate has lasted so long. If I didn't know better, I might almost think that there was some kind of conspiracy going on. Of course, I DO know better. Conspiracies simply do not exist - except for the small ones, they exist, but the big, scary ones do not, and never have. Everyone knows that.

Anyway, to get to the point. I will present conclusive evidence that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon by way of 10 carefully selected photos that, while they speak for themselves, will be accompanied by some incisive commentary by yours truly.

Cousin of alleged 9/11 hijacker exposed as Mossad agent

Super spy
© UnknownAli al-Jarrah: Mossad mole
For 25 years, Ali al-Jarrah managed to live on both sides of the bitterest divide running through this region. To friends and neighbors, he was an earnest supporter of the Palestinian cause, an affable, white-haired family man who worked as an administrator at a nearby school.

To Israel, he appears to have been a valued spy, sending reports and taking clandestine photographs of Palestinian groups and Hezbollah since 1983.

Now he sits in a Lebanese prison cell, accused by the authorities of betraying his country to an enemy state. Months after his arrest, his friends and former colleagues are still in shock over the extent of his deceptions: the carefully disguised trips abroad, the unexplained cash, the secret second wife.

Study: 9/11 lung problems persist years later

Researchers tracking Sept. 11 responders who became ill after working at the World Trade Center site found many had lung problems years later in a study the authors said proves persistent illness in people exposed to toxic dust caused by the twin towers' collapse.

The study by the Mount Sinai Medical Center's medical monitoring program examined more than 3,000 responders between 2004 and 2007, repeating exams conducted between the middle of 2002 and 2004. Slightly more than 24 percent of the patients had abnormal lung function, the study found. In the earlier examinations, about 28 percent of the patients had similar results.

"We know people we are following are still sick. It's confirming what we've been seeing clinically," said Dr. Jacqueline M. Moline, who treats ailing responders and co-authored the study.
