| Ahmadinejad To Honor Famous Terrorist |
| 2009-01-30 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to honour notorious Lebanese militant Samir Kantar who was released by Israel in a prisoner swap last year, officials said on Thursday. Kantar arrived in Iran on Wednesday and expressed his gratitude to Tehran for its role in backing the Lebanese and Palestinian "resistance" to Israel. "This country has played a crucial role in supporting the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance and I am here to express my deepest gratitude to this country," Kantar told AFP. He also said he wished to meet Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and "shake his hand." Kantar was released in July 2008 as part of a prisoner swap between Lebanon and Israel. Described as a monster in Israel where he was convicted for killing three locals, including a policeman and a four-year-old girl in a notorious attack nearly three decades ago, Kantar is considered a hero in some circles in Lebanon. He bashed the 4-yr Girl's head in-- anywhere they don't consider him a monster is a place I don't want to live Iranian officials from Ahmadinejad's office said Kantar will be honoured by the president at a function in Tehran. |

| #5 The ayatollahs named a Teheran street after one of the assassins of Anwar Sadat. I would rename the entire city: Charcoal. |

| #4 Okay. Let's play it again. Who said this... "You soldiers of the Zionist regime ... Why should you kill innocent women and children? The time has come for you to protest against your commanders and disobey their orders." He wrote... While ya got him there, ssk your friend Samir for some insight on that. |
