International Rescue Teams Join Relief Effort in Devastated City:
A terrible tragedy, yet the spiritual/political sore festers with the Islamist government...
"Government spokesmen said that foreign aid workers would not need entry visas and that aid would be welcome from everywhere but Israel. In a televised address, President Mohammad Khatami urged on rescue efforts, thanked the nations that were sending aid and said he was preparing to leave for Bam."
And another throwback to the blindness and medieval thinking of Islamists...
"The use of dogs, which are considered unclean by most Muslims, was a sticking point in rescue efforts in 1990, after the most deadly earthquake ever to strike Iran. It killed about 50,000 people."
