Iranian TV: Ahmadinejad To Visit NYC, Again

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told state TV that he will return to New York City once again for the 2008 United Nations General Assembly session, according to an Associated Press report posted on the Jerusalem Post's Web site.

During his last stay in late September, thousands of protesters gathered outside the U.N. headquarters rallying against his visit. He had requested during that time a tour of ground zero, where he was denied permission to go and lay a wreath.

He also held a forum at Columbia University, where the school's president welcomed him by saying he exhibited "all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator."

Ahmadinejad has attended each session since he was elected president in 2005. This year's meeting will be held on July 18 at the UN Headquarters in New York City.
