WASHINGTON (AFP) -
The United States said Wednesday it was "speechless" after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad voiced doubts about the accepted version of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
"I am not sure what you say about a statement like that. It leaves one speechless," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
"It is just misguided, misinformed rhetoric," McCormack said.
"I cannot tell whether or not it is something that he truly believes or if this is just an attempt to try to shake up public opinion in Iran or elsewhere," McCormack said.
Earlier Wednesday, Ahmadinejad called the 9/11 attacks a "suspect event" in a speech at a public rally in the holy city of Qom.
He raised the theme for the first time at a ceremony on April 8, Iran's national day marking its disputed nuclear program, which the West fears could be used to make nuclear weapons.

But don't worry, it's just for "power generation". And those long range missiles are just a "space program". Very similar to the "space program" in North Korea that somehow only seems to make it over Japan...
