Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called today on the U.N. Security Council to condemn Germany and to impose sanctions on it over the stabbing death, at a German court, of the Egyptian woman, Marwa Al-Sherbini, because of the veil she wore.
Ahmadinejad hinted that the murder had been a plot, and demanded that the German police as well as the judge before whom the murder was committed stand trial.
He also asked why Western heads of state who acted for "a few protestors who set public property on fire in Tehran" were ignoring the matter.
