Munich Is In Germany

Iran's top security guy will be there in a few days as well.

Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, said Wednesday he would hold negotiations with Western officials over the country's controversial nuclear program during a security conference in Germany this weekend.

His comments suggested Iran may be on a new diplomatic offensive in efforts to stave off sterner measures from the UN Security Council, should it fail to meet a 60-day deadline to suspend uranium enrichment that was imposed Dec. 23.

Larijani, who will for the first time head the Teheran delegation to the Feb. 9-11 gathering in Munich, Germany, unlike earlier gatherings that were attended by lower level Iranian officials, sidestepped questions whether those talks would directly involve US representatives.
One of two things is possible here. Either he is in a big hurry to make a deal or he likes the symbolism.

"Munich Is In Germany"

So's Dachau. It's near Munich, too. A nice day trip to unwind from the meeting stresses...see a little of Germany...absorb some local culture...have a history lesson.
