The defectors\u2019 identities and testimony were not revealed in the filing but were being submitted to a judge under seal, said lawyers who brought the original suit against Iran on behalf of families of dozens of 9\/11 victims.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The suit\u2019s allegation that Iran had foreknowledge of the attacks is hard to assess fully, given that the defectors\u2019 testimony is being filed under seal.<\/p>\n<p>The suit contends that Iran and Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant organization with close ties to Tehran, helped Al Qaeda in planning the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and in facilitating the hijackers\u2019 training and travel. After the attacks, the suit contends, Iran and Hezbollah helped Qaeda operatives escape, providing some with a safe haven in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The question of an Iranian connection to 9\/11 was raised by the national 9\/11 commission and has long been debated. Al Qaeda, which adheres to a radical Sunni theology, routinely denounces the Shiite sect that holds power in Iran, and the terrorist network\u2019s branch in Iraq has often made Shiites targets of bombings. But intelligence officials have long believed there has been limited, wary cooperation between Al Qaeda and Iran against the United States as a common enemy.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also names as defendants Iranian officials and ministries, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda, among others. The families\u2019 lawyers have asked for a default judgment against the defendants, which have not mounted a defense. Even if there were such a judgment, legal experts say it would not be easy to collect monetary damages.<\/p>\n<p>In their court papers, the lawyers assert that Imad Mugniyah, as the military chief of Hezbollah, was a terrorist agent for Iran, and that he traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2000 to help with preparations for the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Mugniyah, who was killed in 2008, had been accused by American officials of planning a series of major terrorist attacks and kidnappings, including the 1983 bombings of the United States Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>The 9\/11 commission report said there was \u201cstrong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of Al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9\/11, and that some of these were future 9\/11 hijackers.\u201d The report also said there was circumstantial evidence that senior Hezbollah operatives were closely tracking the travel of some of the hijackers into Iran in November 2000.<\/p>\n<p>But the commission said that it had \u201cfound no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9\/11 attack,\u201d and that the \u201ctopic requires further investigation by the U.S. government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas E. Mellon Jr., a lawyer for the families, said the suit, first brought in Washington in 2002 and later moved to Manhattan, sought to do that investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen Saracini, whose husband, the United Airlines pilot Victor J. Saracini, was killed when his plane was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center, said she became involved with the suit because she wanted answers. \u201cWe now know,\u201d she said, \u201cwho assisted Al Qaeda \u2014 Iran did \u2014 and we want our American justice system to find Iran accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawyers\u2019 filing included reports of 10 specialists on Iran and terrorism, including former 9\/11 commission staff members and ex-C.I.A. officers. \u201cThese experts make it clear that 9\/11 depended upon Iranian assistance to Al Qaeda in acquiring clean passports and visas to enter the United States,\u201d Mr. Mellon said.<\/p>\n<p>But the expert reports do not in most cases seem to go as far as the defectors in contending Iran had foreknowledge of the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The filing says the defectors worked in Iran\u2019s Ministry of Information and Security \u201cin positions that gave them access to sensitive information regarding Iran\u2019s state sponsorship of terrorism.\u201d It says they have reason to fear for the safety of themselves and their families \u201cshould their identities and the content of their testimony be revealed publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Weiser reported from New York, and Scott Shane from Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE NEW YORK TIMES &ndash; May 19, 2011 &ndash;&nbsp; Two defectors from Iran&rsquo;s intelligence service have testified that Iranian officials had &ldquo;foreknowledge of the 9\/11 attacks,&rdquo; according to a court [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-10625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-terrorism-a-fundamentalism","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
