Ki-moon condemns Iran's Holocaust denial

Incoming Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday that Iran's call for Israel's destruction and its dismissal of the Nazi Holocaust were "unacceptable," and he expressed concern at the regional and global implications of Teheran's nuclear program. In the strongest comments at a news conference after being sworn in as the eighth secretary-general of the United Nations, the former South Korean foreign minister urged all countries to reject calls for the elimination of any state or people.
