State-sponsored terrorism / home grown.
On October 31, 2001, Le Figaro, the leading French conservative newspaper published a front page story about medical treatment received by Bin Laden in Dubai in the summer before 9/11. Bin Laden underwent treatment in July [2001] at the American Hospital in Dubai where he met a US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official, French daily Le Figaro and Radio France International reported.
"...the man suspected by the United States of being behind the September 11 terrorist attacks had arrived in Dubai on July 4 by air from Quetta, Pakistan. He was immediately taken to the hospital for kidney treatment. He left the establishment on July 14," Le Figaro said.
"...the CIA representative had been recalled to Washington on July 15. Bin Laden has been sought by the United States for terrorism since the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. But his CIA links go back before that to the fight against Soviet forces in Afghanistan.
"Le Figaro said bin Laden was accompanied in Dubai by his personal physician and close collaborator, who could be the Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as bodyguards and an Algerian nurse. He was admitted to the urology department of Doctor Terry Callaway, who specializes in kidney stones and male infertility. Telephoned several times, the doctor declined to answer questions. Several sources had reported that bin Laden had a serious kidney infection. He had a mobile dialysis machine sent to his Kandahar hideout in Afghanistan in the first half of 2000, according to 'authoritative sources' quoted by Le Figaro and RFI."
Lest we forget... who was truly responsible for all the death and destruction, as the 7th anniversary approaches.

There is an excellent 3-part BBC series titled "The Power of Nightmares" written and produced by Adam Curtis. You can read a bit about it on Wikipedia.
