World Cup: Iranian Soccer Team to Face Protests
by John Little on 11/06/2006The Observer has the story:
Senior politicians, Jewish groups and a prominent German TV host will join a demonstration today in Nuremberg hours before Iran play their opening match of the tournament against Mexico in the city. They are furious that Ahmadinejad’s deputy, Mohammad Aliabadi, has been allowed into the country after the Iranian President called the Holocaust ‘a fairytale’ and called for the destruction of Israel.
I’m actually hoping Iran does well. If they do Ahmadinejad may travel to Germany and all hell could break loose.
