US President George W Bush and other top officials issued almost one thousand false statements about the national security threat from Iraq following the September 11 attacks, according to a study by two not-for-profit organisations.

According to the study, 935 false statements were issued by the White House in the two years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
