Giuliani: Terrorist Movement Alive 18 Years After 9/11

The 9/11 attacks can't be forgotten as part of the past because the root cause of them has not yet been "solved," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was in office when terrorists crashed jets into the World Trade Center's towers, said on Friday.

"It's good if you move past it," Giuliani told Fox News' "Fox and Friends," looking back just a few days before the 18th anniversary of the horrific attacks. "It's not good if you forget it. It's like the death of somebody you love, particularly a catastrophic death...you don't get over it. But as time goes by, the pain you put somewhere."

But with the attacks, "it's not over," said Giuliani. "This isn't Pearl Harbor. It will someday be Pearl Harbor. In other words, the thing that caused it will be solved...the people who killed us then, that movement is still alive and it's killing us today."

Iran, he added, "typifies" the Islamic extremist movement, as it is the biggest supporter of terrorism. 

"We have the really bad Taliban, and we have forms of Al Qaida and ISIS, for example in the middle of South America" Giuliani further claimed. "Three or four of the major terrorist groups, Islamic terrorist groups are involved in the drug trade. They are involved in making money with the drug dealers."

Venezuela's generals, he added are "involved in the drug trade, and they are hiding terrorists as well, which is one of the reasons we have to get rid of (Venezuela President Nicolas) Maduro."
