AHMADINEJAD IN NUREMBERG

Israel Cries Foul over Iran Leader's World Cup Trip - Roger Boyes (Times-UK)
Germany, preparing to host the World Cup next month, is obliged to admit the head of state of a participating nation. But Iran's President Ahmadinejad has demanded Israel's destruction and has repeatedly denied the Holocaust - a crime in Germany.

By unhappy coincidence Iran's first match is in the stadium on the Nuremberg complex used by Hitler for his mass rallies, and German neo-Nazis are planning a march in support of Ahmadinejad. Israel, Iranian exiles, and leading German politicians are demanding that he is kept away.

BY HAPPY COINCIDENCE, NUREMBERG WAS ALSO THE SITE OF THE NAZI WAR CRIMES TRIALS.
