Nelson says he doubts official explanation of terrorist attacks

Associated Press - February 5, 2008 7:25 PM ET

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas icon Willie Nelson said on a nationally syndicated radio show this week that he questions the official story of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City.

Nelson was asked by talk show host Alex Jones if he questions the official story.

Nelson said quote: "I saw those towers fall and I've seen an implosion in Las Vegas, there's too much similarities between the two. And I saw the building fall that didn't get hit by nothing. So, how naive are we, you know, what do they think we'll go for?"

Nelson's publicist would not comment on the remarks.

Jones is an Austin-based talk show host on the Genesis Communications Network. He is sometimes described as a "conspiracy theorist."
