Ahmadinejad: Arrest Opposition Leaders

In a speech before Friday Prayers, Ahmadinejad called for the arrest of opposition leaders for the first time:

“Serious confrontation has to be against the leaders and key elements, against those who organized and provoked (the riots) and carried out the enemy’s plan. They have to be dealt with seriously,” Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands in the capital Tehran before Friday prayers.
