Despite the failure of the US government to provide real evidence of Bin Laden's involvement in the 9/11 attacks, and the failure of the DOJ to indict anyone other than Moussaoui in connection with the attacks, despite numerous "confession" tapes from "bin laden" and "al qaeda", as well as statements from KSM and others subject to closed military tribunals with secret evidence, large numbers of people around the world are skeptical that responsbility for 9/11 lies with bin laden and al qaeda.

A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of 17 nations finds that majorities in only nine of them believe that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

In no country does a majority agree on another possible perpetrator, but in most countries significant minorities cite the US government itself and, in a few countries, Israel. These responses were given spontaneously to an open-ended question that did not offer response options.

On average, 46 percent say that al Qaeda was behind the attacks while 15 percent say the US government, seven percent Israel, and seven percent some other perpetrator. One in four say they do not know.
