Ahmadinejad blasts Israeli leader in Larry King interview

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with CNN's Larry King Wednesday, calling the Israeli prime minister a "skilled killer" who "should be put on trial for killing women and children."

The Iranian president denied that international sanctions were hurting his country, and refused to commit to meeting President Obama if the opportunity arose. He also deflected questions about Iran's nuclear program, saying Iran has "no interest" in a nuclear bomb and that no one is concerned about Iran's intentions other than "the Zionist regime and some American authorities."

"We are not seeking the bomb," Ahmadinejad said. "Both the Zionist regime and the United States government should be disarmed," he said. "The threat to the world are the bombs that the U.S. government and the Zionist regime have."

Ahmadinejad is in New York for the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. He regularly challenges American presidents to talk to him in front of the world's media during the UNGA, but did not clearly commit to talking to Obama when King asked him about it.

"It depends," he said. "I think it would be very good to sit before members of other states and the media and to discuss our views - to have an exchange at the United Nations. I think that would be very positive so that everyone could hear what we have to say and it could help resolve many problems," he said.

The US and its allies accuse Iran of building a nuclear bomb, but Terhan says its nuclear enrichement program is meant for peacefull purposes.
