Missile hit Pentagon on 9/11: Video

On the verge of the 9/11 tenth anniversary, leaked videos confirm eye-witnesses' accounts that the attack was made by a cruise missile rather than a passenger plane, an editor told Press TV's US Desk.

"There were 85 videos; another video was released yesterday (August 29). Now it hasn't been carefully vetted but it appears to be quite genuine that clearly shows a cruise missile from another angle hitting the Pentagon," Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today, told Press TV's US Desk on Tuesday.

Duff said that CNN reporters at the scene of the 9/11 event in 2001 said they had not seen any plane wreckage after the attack.

According to "reliable reports" from airline pilots, it would be "impossible" for the plane and any pilot at all, including the top air force and navy pilots in the US, to have flown a plane in such a way the Pentagon, he added.

"We have engineers at Boeing -- the company that manufactured the plane that supposedly hit the Pentagon -- that say it couldn't fly that fast, it can't fly that low, it can't make those turns and it couldn't have been there," the investigative journalist said.

The close photographs of the Pentagon also show no wreckage of the plane, although normally remains of a plane wreck sometimes cover a square of a mile.

The plane crash does not create a hole 7 to 8 feet across, but it rather creates a hole where the wing hits over 120 feet across, experts say.

"But none of that had happened," he mentioned.

The video that is available now shows that the missile was rectangular, white, seemingly 17 to 20 feet, supersonic, without wings but with a small tail.

It is still pure conjecture who planned the attack and why he did it, but it is quite clear it was not a plane, according to Duff.

"We're willing to prove it wasn't a plane. We'll prove it in any court of law. Now we have solid evidence that we've put together for ten years," Duff said. "It is our belief that members of the US government and one other foreign government were complicit in the planning and execution of the attacks on 9/11."

It is very distressing for veterans to know that their own government was responsible for the disaster, and on September 11, 2011 "they are going to come out, parade around, and lie to us again," he concluded.

South Korea extends range of cruise missile

South Korea has reportedly developed a long-range cruise missile capable of hitting North Korean positions and plans to deploy it along the border with the North.

An unconfirmed report by a defense source said the new the ground-to-ground Hyunmu-3C missile has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers (937 miles), the state-run Yonhap news agency said on Saturday.

Under an agreement with the United States, South Korea can increase the range of its cruise missiles to counter the 1,000 ballistic missiles the North is believed to have deployed at the border — as long as their payload does not exceed 500 kilograms.

Improving upon a previous version with a range of only 1,000 kilometers, the new Hyunmu missile will enable South Korea to target nuclear or military sites in the North.

Ongoing tensions between the two Koreas — technically at war since their 1950-1953 war ended without a peace treaty — have been on the rise since a South Korean warship sank near the tense sea border in March. Forty-six South Korea sailors died in the incident.

South Korea and the United States accused North Korea of torpedoing the vessel, citing the findings of a multinational investigation into the incident.

However, Pyongyang has rejected the charges and says a July 9 statement by the UN Security Council proves its point since it does not identify North Korea as the culprit.

After the UN statement, the North reiterated its conditional willingness to return to the stalled six-party nuclear disarmament talks it withdrew from last year.

After the UN statement, the North announced that it was still conditionally ready to return to the stalled six-party nuclear disarmament talks it withdrew from last year.

But South Korea has demanded an apology for the attack on the ship and says it will not return to the negotiation table until those responsible are punished.
