VATICAN CITY (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a letter to Pope Benedict XVI through his Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, the Vatican said in a communique.
Wednesday's statement did not reveal the contents of the letter, but earlier Wednesday a press officer at the Iranian presidency in Tehran told AFP that the letter, the latest in a series of missives to world leaders, was "not political."
"President Ahmadinejad insisted in his letter on the common teachings of the prophets and the importance of establishing new political and human relations based on those teachings," Ehsan Jahandideh said....
