At the same day that Iranian ambassador to the United Nation expressed Iran's preparedness for direct talks with the US (see), another group of people in Behesht Zahra were pushing hard for the contrary (see). Behesht Zahra (Persian: بهشت زهرا), means Zahra's heaven named after prophet's daughter, is the giant cemetery outside Tehran. The importance of this place returns to the burial of many victims, or as they prefer it martyrs, of the Islamic Republic history including the war with Iraq. For this reason Behesht Zahra has long been one of the gathering points of Basij and the Islamists. Yesterday, the fifth suicidal squad announced its establishment in Behesht Zahra. The squad is named after Nader Mahdavi (Persian: نادر مهدوي). Mahdavi has reportedly been the commander of Sepah navy suicidal squad who was killed during a 1986 raid against the American navy force in the Persian Gulf (see). The announcement was carried out with scenes of American soldier's coffins in the International Islamic Movement's Martyrs Section of Behesht Zahra.
