Russia staged its own '9/11'.
An apartment manager saw a truck unloading bags into the basement parking area of his apartment complex. He called the local police and they showed up. The bags were filled with yellowish granular material and the ones unloading it were identified as members of the Russian Interior Department (or whatever it is the KGB are called these days).
Shortly thereafter, the evidence aquired by the local police was confiscated by the Feds and the apartment manager and local police were told that it was a *drill*, and that the bags were really full of sugar, not explosives, and that they had done very well in noticing and reporting what was happening.
The above was reported in some major Russian papers.
The Russians staged their own 9/11 to gain support for an invasion of oil-rich Chechnya, which had claimed and maintained its independance. There has never been any evidence provided to support the claim that Chechen rebels staged the bombings.

Bombings? I assume you mean the hostage taking episode, but I wonder if it all went down differently on your planet. On our planet, the Chechens made themselves readily available to the televised media. Or was that all faked as well?
