Sept. 11 doubter to retire from BYU
PROVO, Utah, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Brigham Young University in Utah has
finalized a retirement package with the professor who claimed bombs
brought down the World Trade Center towers in 2001.
Physics Professor Steven Jones is due to retire Jan. 1, after BYU
placed him on paid leave to review his research paper on the Sept.
11, 2001, terror attacks, the Deseret (Utah) Morning News said.
Neither side released details of the package.
In his paper, Jones said experiments he conducted on material from
ground zero and other evidence led him to believe three complex
towers fell because pre-set explosives detonated throughout the
buildings after the hijacked jets struck the Twin Towers, the Morning
News said.
Once the retirement agreement was reached, the Provo university
stopped its review, the newspaper said.
Jones submitted a letter to the Morning News, criticizing the Iraqi
war and questioning the official explanations of the towers'
collapse. He also expressed concern that any future attacks may be
blamed on Iran or Syria to justify U.S. actions against those
nations, the newspaper said.
Scholars for 9/11 Truth, co-founded by Jones, has collected 2,924 of
the 10,000 signatures it wants on a petition supporting Jones to send
to the BYU president.
