Iran leader proud of anger over Holocaust remark
 [Al Arabiya Latest] Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday that he was proud of the anger he had caused by calling the Holocaust a "myth," just days before he is due to address the United Nations General Assembly."The anger of the world's professional killers is a source of pride for us," the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying, in an apparent reference to arch-foe Israel and the United States. Western governments expressed outrage at the Iranian president's remarks, made during a keynote speech on Friday to an annual mass rally in support of the Palestinians. "The pretext for establishing the Zionist regime is a lie... a lie which relies on an unreliable claim, a mythical claim, and the occupation of Palestine has nothing to do with the Holocaust," Ahmadinejad had said.
