International poll: no consensus on who was behind 9/11

A new WorldPublicOpinion.org — A project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland — poll of 17 nations finds that majorities in only nine of them believe that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

In no country does a majority agree on another possible perpetrator, but in most countries significant minorities cite the US government itself and, in a few countries, Israel. These responses were given spontaneously to an open-ended question that did not offer response options.
