WASHINGTON - Iran's Holocaust-denying, America-hating President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is planning to come to New York for a nuclear conference at the UN that starts Monday.
Iran has not said when Ahmadinejad would arrive, trailing gridlock and noisy protests through Manhattan in his wake. But Iran applied at the U.S. Embassy in Switzerland for a visa for its delegation.
The visit will coincide with stepped-up U.S. efforts to win a new round of UN sanctions against Iran's nuclear programs.
Ahmadinejad has been in New York several times, most recently for the UN General Assembly meeting last fall.
The UN meeting on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, held every five years, will last through May 28.
Looks like he will arrive in the dark to avoid traffic and protesters.
