I would like to comment on Al Muwahidun letter. 'Free yourself from the media to discover the truth', Sept 28. Actually, the question that does remain after the event of Sept 11, is the motive and benefits of such an attack? I believe there is more than what we are led to believe.

Short selling of shares occurred prior to the WTC attacks, in Chicago, New York, London, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong and Germany? According to Bloomberg , shares sold were of United Airlines, American Airlines, Merrill Lynch, Axa, Citigroup and other related companies that would have been affected by the attacks on Washington and New York. Did somebody know?

Why wasn't the black boxes of the ill fated aircrafts found? There are two in each aircraft which makes it eight altogether. Black boxes have a capacity to withstand intense pressure. Importantly, they emit a signal beacon for easy location. Black boxes from other fatal crashes like Eqypt air and TWA 800 have been found. Could it be because the black boxes can provide some irrefutable evidence?

These black boxes were not found while a passport claimed to be one of the hijackers were found in perfect condition lying about three to four blocks away from the scene in New York.

How can black boxes be destroyed or damaged in the case of Flight 93 when a passport be found intact, surviving intense incinerating heat from the 19000 gallons of aviation fuel, a crash of a 110-storey building. Why was it found a couple of blocks away?

Bearing these two facts, these few nagging questions shall remain constantly etched in my mind.
