US planned 9/11, says Chavez<br />

VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chavez asserted today that the United States could have orchestrated the September 11 attacks five years ago to justify its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.<br />
<br />
Mr Chavez, who regularly accuses the Bush Administration of planning to invade Venezuela and plotting to overthrow or assassinate him, offered no evidence to support his assertions.<br />
<br />
He claimed, however, that momentum was growing for a conspiracy theory aired on television this week by a Venezuelan journalist.<br />
<br />
"It is still not clear what the cause was, nor who directed the terrible act that claimed thousands of lives in seconds and gave the American empire an excuse to hit out with more even brutality and fury at the world," Mr Chavez said in a speech in Caracas.<br />
<br />
"It is difficult to believe that the towers of the World Trade Centre could have collapsed as they did, in the blink of an eye, because of the planes."<br />
<br />
Mr Chavez suggested the towers could have been dynamited and noted that the wreckage of the plane that smashed into the Pentagon had not been recovered.<br />
<br />
Conspiracy theories persist about the 2001 attacks by hijacked airliners which killed nearly 3000 people when they crashed into New York's World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. But no evidence has emerged to dispute the accepted version of events.<br />
