-
- HAMBURG (ots) - Fast jeder dritte Deutsche unter 30 hält
es für möglich, dass die amerikanische Regierung die Terroranschläge
vom 11. September 2001 selber in Auftrag gegeben hat. Das ergab eine repräsentative
Umfrage der Wochenzeitung DIE ZEIT. 78 Prozent der Befragten in diesem
Alter glauben auch, aus Fernseh- und Presseberichten nicht die volle Wahrheit
über die Attentate auf das World Trade Center und das Pentagon erfahren
zu haben.
-
- Quer durch alle Altersgruppen meinen 19 Prozent der Bevölkerung,
dass die US-Regierung hinter den Terrorangriffen auf New York und Washington
stecken könnte. Deutliche Unterschiede zeigen sich zwischen Ost- und
Westdeutschland. Während in den alten Bundesländern nur 16 Prozent
an eine Verschwörung der Regierung Bush glauben, sind es in den neuen
Bundesländern fast doppelt so viele Bürger (29 Prozent).
-
- Die deutliche Mehrheit aller Deutschen, 68 Prozent, ist
der Ansicht, über die wahren Details hinter den Anschlägen nicht
vollständig informiert zu sein. Befragt wurden gut 1000 Bundesbürger..."

- BERLIN (Reuters) -- Almost
one in three Germans below the age of 30 believes the U.S. government may
have sponsored the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington,
according to a poll published on Wednesday.
-
- And about 20 percent of Germans in all age groups hold
this view, a survey of 1,000 people conducted for the weekly Die Zeit said.
-
- It also said 68 percent of all Germans felt the media
had not reported the full truth behind the attacks, in which some 3,000
people were killed when hijacked planes were crashed into the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon.
-
- After the September 11 attacks, there was an outpouring
of sympathy from Germans for the United States. Despite misgivings, Germany
joined a military campaign against the al Qaeda network that Washington
blamed for the attacks.
-
- But as the United States geared up for war against Iraq,
relations soured bady as Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder expressed vocal opposition
to the plans.
-
- Although the United States took strong offence at Berlin's
attitude, Schroeder's anti-war stance was popular in Germany and helped
him to snatch victory in last September's elections.
-
- Asked whether they believed that the U.S. government
could have ordered the September 11 attacks itself, 31 percent of those
surveyed under the age of 30 in the poll answered "yes", while
19 percent overall gave the same answer.
-
- Die Zeit said widespread disbelief about the reasons
given by the United States for going to war in Iraq and suspicion about
media coverage of the conflict had fostered a climate in which conspiracy
theories flourished.
-
- "The news is controlled," 17-year old Kenny
Donaubaur was quoted as saying. "You could see that in the Iraq war.
It doesn't seem to me thet you get the full truth."
