9/11 conspiracy theories dispute the widely accepted account that the September 11 attacks were perpetrated solely by al-Qaeda[1] without any detailed advance knowledge on the part of any government agency.[2] Proponents of these conspiracy theories claim there are inconsistencies in the official conclusions, or evidence which was overlooked.[3] In a 2008 global poll of 16,063 people in 17 countries, majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks. 46% of those surveyed believed al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks, 15% believed the U.S. government was responsible, 7% believed Israel was and another 7% believed some other perpetrator, other than al-Qaeda, was responsible. The poll found that respondents in the Middle East were especially likely to name a perpetrator other than al-Qaeda.[4]
