The Null Device

Conspiracy theory of the day: While public opinion is that the WTC bombing is likely to be the work of Islamic terrorists, I was wondering about some of the other possible suspects. For example, what if it's the work of an extremist anarchist/Marxist group affiliated with the anti-globalisation movement. Consider the following points:

• The attacks occurred on the first anniversary of the brutal suppression of the S11 protests against the World Trade Organisation in Melbourne.
• The target was the World Trade Cantre, a symbol of multinational corporate capitalism. If the anti-globalisation movement was to choose a target it could hardly choose a better one, with the possible exception of the Nike headquarters.
• Fidel Castro has recently been vocal in aligning himself with the anti-globalisation movement. As such, the Cuban state could have lent logistical support to the terrorists.

Of course, the question comes up of whether anybody in the anti-globalisation movement would consider hijacking airliners full of innocent people and crashing them into a building full of random employees; which seems unlikely; and whether Cuba would get involved in something like that is also a bit of a stretch. Though even if this isn't true, it could be a good excuse for a crackdown on anti-capitalist groups across the Western world.
