9/11 conspiracy?

Ten years of official explanations have done little to curb conspiracy theories about how the 9/11 tragedy came about. According to a poll conducted last month by research organization Gfk NOP for the latest episode of the BBC’s The Conspiracy Files, 15 percent of Americans (and 14 percent of Brits) still believe that the 9/11 attacks were carried out as part of a U.S.-led conspiracy.
