…Khomeini, who had been in exile for 15 years, created a secret back-channel to the US, new documents show.
In a letter to then-president Jimmy Carter, he wrote: “You will see we are not in any particular animosity with the Americans.”
He pledged his Islamic Republic will be “a humanitarian one, which will benefit the cause of peace and tranquillity for all mankind”, the BBC revealed.

Sinn Féin.....Alahwahoo Whackbar !
