Fidel Castro today joined the band of September 11 conspiracy
theorists by accusing the US of spreading disinformation about the
attacks that took place six years ago.

In a 4,256-word article read by a Cuban television presenter last
night, the country's leader asserted that the Pentagon was hit by a
rocket, not a plane, because no traces were found of its passengers.

"Only a projectile could have created the geometrically round orifice
created by the alleged airplane," he said. "We were deceived as well
as the rest of the planet's inhabitants," he said.

In fact, the remains of the bodies of the crew and passengers of
American Airlines flight 77 were found at the Pentagon crash site, and
positively identified by DNA.
