Meglio tardi che mai la verita' viene a galla.

Firefighters who lost colleagues in the 9/11 attacks in New York have
strongly criticised Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani.

They released a video claiming that failures by the then-mayor of New
York led to the deaths of 121 men.

The video says Mr Giuliani failed to provide working radios for crews
and halted the recovery effort too soon.

Mr Giuliani's campaign said the union behind the footage was known to
support Democratic presidential candidates.

Mr Giuliani is seen as one of the frontrunners in the race for the
Republican nomination.

'Taking the hit'

The 13-minute footage was made by the 280,000-strong International
Association of Firefighters (IAFF).

It says Mr Giuliani pushed for a faster cleanup at Ground Zero before
all the remains had been recovered, and placed an emergency centre in
a building that later collapsed.

It also accuses the former mayor of failing to provide working radios
for firefighters, saying it made it impossible for them to learn that
the Twin Towers were about to collapse.

"Virtually the whole thing goes back to him with the radios," Jim
Riches, a fireman whose son was killed on 9/11, says in the footage.

"He's the guy on the top, and he's the guy you yell at. He takes the
hit. And my son is dead because of it."

The video - which also offers testimony from other firefighters and
their relatives - says Mr Giuliani is exploiting the disaster as a
theme for his presidential candidacy.
