NEW YORK — Tony Bennett apologized Wednesday for suggesting the United States provoked the 9/11 attacks, saying he was only expressing his feelings as a pacifist when he made the comments during an interview on Howard Stern’s radio show.
“There is simply no excuse for terrorism and the murder of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims of the 9/11 attacks on our country,” the 85-year-old crooner said in a written statement. “I am sorry if my statements suggested anything other than an expression of my love for my country, my hope for humanity and my desire for peace throughout the world.”
On Monday, Bennett told Stern that the attacks by al-Qaeda were linked to U.S. aggression. The Associated Press
