Liverpool FC reserve team striker Nathan Eccleston facing investigation after 9/11 Twitter posting

LIVERPOOL FC reserve team striker  Nathan Eccleston was under investigation by the club last night after a controversial posting on Twitter.

Nathan Eccleston, 20, wrote that he believed the 9/11 atrocities were “an accident” and that the secretive “Illuminati”, rather than terrorists, were behind the attacks.

The American-owned club last night said it was taking the matter “extremely seriously” and has told the Manchester-born player, who is on the fringes of the first-team squad, they will investigate before deciding on “an appropriate course of action”.

The message was taken off the internet yesterday after being posted on Monday – the 10th anniversary of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon, and the hijacking of United Airlines flight 93.

Eccleston, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Charlton Athletic, has made nine first-team appearances for Liverpool
