Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Iraq didn't denounce the September 11 terrorist attacks, nor disassociated itself from Al-Qaeda after the event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Almost all Muslim political and religious leaders condemned the attacks. The leaders who vehemently denounced the attacks included the leaders of Egypt (Hosni Mubarak), the Palestinian Authority (Yasser Arafat), Libya (Muammar Gaddafi), Syria (Bashar al-Assad), Iran (Mohamed Khatami) and Pakistan (Pervez Musharraf). The only exception was Iraq, when then President Saddam Hussein said: "American cowboys are reaping the fruits of their crimes against humanity." Later, Saddam would offer sympathy to the Americans killed in the attacks.
