AUSTRIAN GREEN DEMANDS PRESIDENT'S ARREST

No, not Bush, new Iranian President Ahmadinejihad:

Austrian authorities have classified documents suggesting that Iran's president-elect may have played a key role in the 1989 execution-style slayings of an Iranian Kurdish leader and two associates in Vienna, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Austria's Interior Ministry and the public prosecutor's office are investigating alleged evidence pointing to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's possible involvement in the attack, the daily Der Standard reported.

The allegations against Ahmadinejad come as some of the Americans who were taken captive in Iran in 1979 implicate the newly elected leader in the hostage crisis. Radical Iranian students took over the U.S. Embassy and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

In Austria, Green Party leader Peter Pilz told the newspaper he wants a warrant issued for the arrest of Ahmadinejad, who he alleged "stands under strong suspicion of having been involved."

See what happen's when you're not nice to the people you meet on the way to the top. I mean, you take a few hostages and kill a few people and it seems like everyone's out to get you.

Update: Commenter CL notes that Ahmadinejihad is one creepy dude. Go here for more creepy dudes and dudettes.
