Iranian President Ahmadinejad plans to visit Ground Zero despite NYPD rejection

WABC is reporting that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad intends to visit Ground Zero on Monday at 10AM despite NYPD's rejection of his request to visit the site.

Iran's president and his entourage will be accompanied by a Secret Service protective detail, a detail provided to all heads of state when they visit the U.S.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani released the following statement on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:

"Under no circumstances should the NYPD or any other American authority assist President Ahmadinejad in visiting Ground Zero. This is a man who has made threats against America and Israel, is harboring bin Laden's son and other al-Qaeda leaders, is shipping arms to Iraqi insurgents and is pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. Assisting Ahmadinejad in touring Ground Zero - hallowed ground for all Americans - is outrageous."

Senator Hillary Clinton released the following statement:

"It is unacceptable for Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who refuses to renounce and end his own country's support of terrorism, to visit the site of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in our nation's history."
