THE Sept 11 commission’s report, due out on Thursday, says Iran may have facilitated the 2001 attacks on the United States by providing eight to 10 Al-Qaeda hijackers with safe passage to and from training camps in Afghanistan, media reports said yesterday.

Time and Newsweek - in similar reports quoting congressional, commission and government sources - said Iran relaxed border controls and provided ‘clean’ passports for the hijackers to transit via Iran to and from Osama bin Laden’s camps between October 2000 and February 2001.
