    It is just a political stunt by Ahmadinejad to get pity from the outside
    world. Ayatollah Khomeini did exactly the same after he made the political coup against the Shah. It is only a copycat kidnapping, nothing
    else, just to have hostages. 29/6/2009.

    I don't know. He may have a point, since this wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened.
