Shouldn't the Americans arrest him when he lands in Baghdad airport for supporting terror, supplying terrorists with money and weapons? Iran's Ahmadinejad may visit Iraq Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit neighbouring Iraq, Iran's foreign minister said on Sunday, a move that would be unlikely to be welcomed by the United States. Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki said Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had invited Ahmadinejad after Maliki visited Tehran on Aug. 8-9, but added a final decision had yet to be taken. The U.S. military accuses the Islamic Republic of arming and training militias behind some of the violence ravaging post-Saddam Iraq. Iran rejects the charge and blames the presence of U.S. forces, numbering about 162,000, for the mayhem. Tehran and Washington, which have not had diplomatic ties since shortly after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, are also at loggerheads over its disputed nuclear programme. Iran denies Western accusations it is aimed at building atom bombs. Baghdad has urged both Iran and the United States to negotiate and not fight out their differences on Iraqi soil, and the two arch-foes held landmark talks in Baghdad in May and July on ways to improve security in Iraq. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/DAH964591.htm
