U N panel to depart Geneva for Tehran this Saturday
The five member U N investigative commission on Iran, set to hear grievances over the shah and the hostage crisis, has been cleared to leave Geneva for Tehran this Saturday. The delay stemmed from political disagreements as militants demanding the shah's return pressure Iran. The U N co chair said plans were on track with no deadline yet. The militants holding about 50 hostages in the U S Embassy in Tehran pressed for Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s extradition, while Khomeini urged Iranians to demand the shah's return.
