European MPs seek EU travel ban on Ahmadinejad A group of European Parliament members is seeking an indefinite EU travel ban on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after he called for Israel to be destroyed and questioned the Holocaust. A group of 75 lawmakers from all major political groups in the EU assembly signed a petition, which was submitted Thursday to EU president Austria and FIFA, the governing body of world soccer, asking them to prevent Ahmadinejad from traveling to Germany to watch his team play in the June 9-July 9 World Cup and banning him from traveling to any of the other 24 EU member states. Only EU member states can declare a travel ban, which is unlikely because world powers, including Britain, France and Germany, are currently debating how to resolve the Iran nuclear crisis."We do not wish the Iranian president to come to Europe for very clear reasons - his attacks on Israel, his denials concerning the Holocaust," said Jana Hybaskova, member of the European People's Party, the biggest group in the European Parliament. "What we want is not a short term solution, we want the European Council to deal with the issue like it dealt with Lukashenko." ---------------------------------------------------
