Jeder Dritte vermutet hinter 11. September Regierungs-Verschwörung
 
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..."

Poll Shows Many Germans See US Behind 911

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."
