Iran Nazis at Airport To See Mossadegh Off
TEHRAN, Iran (UP) — Black-shirted members of a newly formed Iranian Nazi organization saw Premier Mohammed Mossadegh off for The Hague today to plead Iran’s case in the international court hearing of the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute. The Nazis, wearing swastika armbands, stood in the crowd which said good-bye to Mossadegh at the Tehran airport.It was the first time the Iranian Nazis have appeared in public. Mossadegh slept in his plane last night as a precautionary measure. Police feared attempts might be made to assassinate him. Just before the plane’s take-off, Mossadegh appeared in the aircraft’s door and waved to the crowds.
