aug 3, 2005 - Ahmadinejad Elected President

Description:

Iranians at the time only knew Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a secular conservative. His campaign appealed to a large rural constituency and to the religious and military elite. Americans who were held hostage in 1979 and 1980 recognized him as one of their captors.
