Obama scoffs at Ahamdinejad's demand for apology

AP, Washington, June 28, 2009 - President Barack Obama's criticism of Iran has escalated into an unusually personal war of words. To Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad's demand he apologize for meddling, Obama shot back that the regime should 'think carefully' about answers owed to protesters it has arrested, bludgeoned and killed.
'The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous,' Obama said Friday. 'We see it and we condemn it.'

'We will not forget,' Merkel said.
