Najaf
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Aqa Shaykh Husayn Hamedani «1» (may his blessings last):
I thank the distinguished `ulama' and Hujjat al-Islams (may God exalt their names) for their kind sympathies. Please give my sincere regards to them. I ask God for the success of the `ulama' of Islam in establishing the truth and refuting falsehood. Please ask them to strongly deny the contents of Ittila`at daily editorial, dated Tuesday, Farvardin 18. May peace be upon you.
Khomeini
