PARIS - The French are lapping up a Sept. 11 conspiracy theory that argues 
that the plane that smashed into the Pentagon never existed and that the 
world has been duped by a murky US government plot.

Thierry Meyssan's book ''The Frightening Fraud'' has topped best-seller 
lists.

Meyssan, president of Reseau Voltaire, a respected left-wing think tank, 
theorizes that American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon 
on Sept. 11, killing 189, did not exist and that the crash was staged by the 
government.

''I believe the American government is lying... No plane crashed into the 
Pentagon,'' he told France 2 television.

Meyssan did not provide an alternative theory for what may have damaged the 
Pentagon.

And although French media have scoffed at Meyssan's musings, comparing them 
to the Roswell alien cover-up theory dramatized in the hit TV show ''The 
X-Files,'' the public is intrigued.

''Copies have been flying off shelves,'' a saleswoman at FNAC bookshop in 
central Paris said. It topped Amazon France's best-seller list and made it 
to second place on the booksellers' weekly Livres Hebdo's sales list.
