Israeli leaders 'group of terrorists'

Tehran: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel's leaders “a group of terrorists'' and threatened any country that supported the Jewish state.

In a speech made on Friday Ahmadinejad sent out a warning to the United States and its allies, saying, "You imposed a group of terrorists on the region."

He added, “It is in your own interest to distance yourself from these criminals. This is an ultimatum. Don't complain tomorrow."

Ahmadinejad told thousands of people gathered at a pro-Palestinian rally in the capital of Tehran that "nations will take revenge," adding that Israel no longer had any reason to exist.

He said, "Efforts to stabilise this fake (Israeli) regime, by the grace of God, have completely failed. You should believe that this regime is disappearing."

Ahmadinejad also branded a decision taken by the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on Iran for its uranium enrichment as “illegitimate''.
