On the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, hundreds of Americans rallied near the site of the former Twin Towers demanding the whole truth behind the tragedy.
Washington says the attacks were a series of coordinated strikes in which four passenger airliners were hijacked and rammed into their targets.
However, the official story of the incident continues to be disputed by many scholars and researchers to this date.
Around the corner from the official commemoration ceremony in New York City on Thursday, there was a crowd of several hundred people who called for the whole story, Press TV’s Caleb Maupin reports from New York.
“I think it was orchestrated, no doubt. I don’t believe the official story one bit. You know the way the towers fell, how they fell straight down the path of most resistance, free-fall speed,” Joe Spoto, a Marine Corp veteran, told Press TV.
“If you are sending our military to fight for oil or the puppy fields of Afghanistan you know then it’s not good to go,” he added.
Others said corporations representing the US military industrial complex were benefiting from 9/11 and the ensuing wars in the Middle East.
“Major corporations in the arms industry, in the oil industry, the media, the insurance industry, banking industry, have benefited enormously from 9/11,” said Richard Gage, a scholar and member of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
“We encourage everybody to look and see who runs those corporations, who runs those industries, what are their ties to government,” Gage continued.
The activist group says evidence regarding the destruction of the World Trade Center towers shows pre-set explosives were used in the demolition of the buildings.
The protesters also demanded the release of 28 pages from the 9/11 Commission Report which still remain classified.
The administration of former president George W. Bush blamed al-Qaeda for the attacks and declared the so-called “war on terrorism.” As part of that strategy, the US attacked Afghanistan and later invaded Iraq.
