Researcher Says Look For More Sept. 11 Copycats
PORTLAND, Maine (Wireless Flash) -- A media and social science researcher says
people should expect more terrorist attacks that mimic Sept. 11.
In his new book "The
Copycat Effect" (Paraview Pocket Books - Simon and Schuster), Loren
Coleman claims commercial media is largely responsible for causing terrorism to
spiral out of control, because as he puts it, "death sells."
Even the 9/11 terrorists were copycats, Coleman points out, saying on September
11, 1922, the British mandate of Palestine began and on September 11, 1939, Iraq
and Saudi Arabia declared war on Nazi Germany.
Other 9/11 copycats have sprung up since the attacks, including the two jet
crashes in Russia last month (brought down by Chechen terrorists), which
occurred at 11:00 in the evening, and the 15-year-old boy who flew a stolen
plane into a Tampa, Florida, bank building on January 5, 2002 (who
also modeled himself after Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, who killed RFK on the first
anniversary of the Six Day War).
Coleman claims intelligence services aren't looking closely enough at the
connections. He says, "Hopefully the CIA will read my book and recommend it for
their reading list."
