Portland, ME -- A paranormal researcher says people should expect more terrorist attacks that mimic Sept. 11.

In his new book "The Copycat Effect" (Paraview), Loren Coleman claims commercial media is to blame for causing terrorism to spiral out of control, because as he puts it, "death sells."

Even the 9/11 terrorists were copycats, Coleman points out, saying on September 11, 1922, the British mandate of Palestine began and on September 11, 1939, Iraq and Saudi Arabia declared war on Nazi Germany.

Other 9/11 copycats have sprung up since the attacks, including the two jet crashes in Russia last month, which occurred at 11:00 in the evening, and the 15-year-old boy who flew a stolen plane into a Tampa, Florida, bank building on January 5, 2002.

Coleman claims intelligence services aren't looking close enough at the connections. He says, "Hopefully the CIA will read my book and recommend it for their reading list."
