Ahmadinejad said in Tehran Wednesday that his attendance of the UN
General Assembly would be a "suitable opportunity" to challenge Bush
in a television debate.
"My forthcoming visit to New York for the UN General Assembly
would be a suitable opportunity to hold the debate and all world
people, especially the Americans, could hear and watch it without
censorship," the news agency ISNA quoted the Iranian president as
saying in a cabinet session.
