Ahmadinejad, who often rails against the West and Israel, made the comment in a meeting with Intelligence Ministry personnel.
It
came amid escalating tension in the long-running dispute between Iran
and the West over Tehran's nuclear program, with the United States
pushing for new U.N. sanctions against the major oil producer.
Ahmadinejad
described the destruction of the twin towers in New York on September
11, 2001 as a "complicated intelligence scenario and act," IRNA
reported.
He added: "The September
11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against
terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan."
He did not elaborate.
