Art students pop up again

Those Israeli "art students" are back in the news again. This story popped up in the Ottawa Sun, here, but was pulled off the paper's website without explanation.

That there may be Mossad agents running around North America does not come as a shock, but the question which won't go away is whether they were involved with what happened on 9/11. Some say suggesting this makes you a conspiracy theorist, but this story is entirely suspicious. It could be "the biggest espionage scandal of the century," as Nathan Guttmann wrote in Ha'aretz, "or the greatest journalistic non-starter in many a decade." Nobody's been able to step forward with a comprehensive explanation about what's going on here.

For background, check out antiwar.com's archive. If you're a particular fan of mainstream news sources, ABC's 20/20 and Fox News each ran lengthy features on the story in the wake of 9/11 which have since disappeared down the memory hole.

Justin Raimondo has been pushing this story from the get-go and, as expected, he takes on this most recent development in his column for today.
