Koizumi cites bin Laden lack of denial as proof of guilt

TOKYO, Japan - Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi tells a Diet committee session Oct. 12 the government has concluded that Osama bin Laden was involved in the Sept. 11 attack on the United States, partly because bin Laden has not denied the allegations against him. ''On television (on Monday), Osama bin Laden praised those who destroyed New York and Washington as people sent by God, and did not deny his involvement at all despite the allegations voiced by many countries,'' Koizumi said.
