Iranian President To Be Sued For Anti-Israel Comments



	Various highly profiled Israeli diplomats, plan to take Mr. Ahmadinejad to the International Court of Justice, for what they believe as a violation of the 1948 UN genocide convention, to which Iran is still a cosigner.
	An advisory document that recommends prosecution is ‘almost complete’ reported Israeli news website Ynetnews.com. The Iranian president drew international criticism with comments that reflected a desire to “wipe Israel off the map”, Ynetnews said.
