Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that the World Trade Center towers could not have been brought down by aircraft and suggested a planned explosion occurred, sparking widespread condemnation. Diplomats from over 30 countries walked out of his address to the UN General Assembly, which also included attacks on the West, Israel, and the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad criticized the US for killing Osama Bin Laden without bringing him to justice, calling it a "9/11 cover-up". His remarks led to criticism from Western leaders, including UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who accused Iran of violently suppressing dissent and detaining and torturing political opponents.
