The following are excerpts from interviews with self-professed former media advisor to Al-Qaeda Ayman Al-Fayed, which aired on Al-Faraeen TV on December 20-23, 2009.

Interviewer: We welcome Mr. Ayman, the media advisor of Al-Qaeda.

[...]

Interviewer: According to Mr. Ayman Al-Fayed, the Muslim Brotherhood is the "mother organization" of all the militant organizations, and first and foremost, Al-Qaeda. What you are saying is very serious.

Ayman Al-Fayed: The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is completely different from the Muslim Brotherhood in Saudi Arabia. Dr. Abdallah Azzam, who was a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship, and who graduated from Al-Azhar and got his Ph.D. in Egypt, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Osama Bin Laden, known as Abu Abdullah, told me personally that he was a Muslim Brotherhood member.

[...]

Interviewer: Do you believe that Al-Qaeda had nothing to do with 9/11?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Absolutely

Interviewer: Do you think that the capabilities of the Al-Qaeda organization are insufficient to carry out something like 9/11?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Absolutely. They do not have such material or military capabilities. In order to carry this out, they would have had to practice at least 3-4 times. President Hosni Mubarak is an experienced pilot. If he himself said that the people who carried out this operation had to practice 5-6 times in advance, this means that this happened in America 5-6 times. Where are the brains of our brothers in the media, who repeat what is said by the deceitful American media?

[...]

Interviewer: Why did you leave Al-Qaeda?

Ayman Al-Fayed: There are two Al-Qaedas. Like Brecht said in his play, there is Al-Qaeda and non-Al-Qaeda. There is the Al-Qaeda that developed in a natural manner, and this is what I am talking about when I tell the story of my life with them. But there is also an artificial, imaginary, American-made Al-Qaeda.

[...]

Interviewer: What you are saying is that they conceal this demon, and when they feel like it, they pull it out and use it.

Ayman Al-Fayed: This is with regard to their imaginary, false Al-Qaeda.

[...]

When they say: "Al-Qaeda strikes here, Al-Qaeda strikes there," they are referring to the American-made organization. An American fabrication. They carried out the USS Cole operation in the Aden Bay, and three days after Barack Obama came into office, he said that Muhammed Al-Nashiri, the young Saudi who was at the top of the list for the destruction of the USS Cole was innocent and there was no evidence against him.

[...]

Interviewer: So you deny Al-Qaeda's involvement in the 1998 bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, as well as the USS Cole?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Yes.

Interviewer: Al-Qaeda has nothing to do with them?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Nothing whatsoever.

Interviewer: So who carried these out?

Ayman Al-Fayed: The Americans.

Interviewer: How did the Americans do this?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Easily. Is it a problem for them to bomb a building, and get two vital countries in return? Didn't they do this in 9/11? Prince Nayef, the veteran Saudi interior minister, said the truth. Two months after 9/11 the man said... This is a prince, not someone who can be removed after a while. This is someone who knows what he is talking about. He said the Arabs and Al-Qaeda were not behind this operation, because they do not have the capabilities. He said it was the Israelis and the Zionists. On the first anniversary of 9/11, he said it again.

Interviewer: Why do they say this?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Unfortunately, when the US does this...

Interviewer: And they pin it on Al-Qaeda.

Ayman Al-Fayed: The fundamental reason is that instead of a national security theory, they have a theory of interests. The only thing they understand is interests – how much they will profit. When they said to their people: Let's enter World War II, the people said: Why? What do we stand to gain from this war? So they organized the Pearl Harbor operation against American fleet. They knew that the Japanese [were coming]. After the Americans announced an oil embargo, and a freeze on Japanese assets in America, they knew that Japan would die of cold. So they allowed the Japanese fleet to pass through and strike the navy base in Pearl Harbor.

[...]

Interviewer: So Osama Bin Laden is a fraud?

Ayman Al-Fayed: No, he is not.

Interviewer: Ayman Al-Zawahiri is a fraud?

Ayman Al-Fayed: When they claim that Osama did this or Ayman did that, they should produce evidence for 9/11.

[...]

Interviewer: Where are Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri and Sheik Osama Bin Laden?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Either they were both killed, or else they are being held by the American forces. What I want to tell you...

Interviewer: In Guantanamo?

Ayman Al-Fayed: Possibly. God knows.

[...]

Either they were killed and all these things are fabricated...These are Hollywood people. They know how to produce a film. Any 20- or 30-year-old guy playing with his computer can make you look like Osama Bin Laden. These days, there are advanced audio systems, which can change your voice to match the voice of Osama Bin Laden. Get it? They fabricate things. Didn't they fabricate 9/11?
