he visits the mausoleum of the late spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini, on the 24th
anniversary of Iran's Islamic revolution, near Tehran, Iran, Saturday, Feb. 1, 2003.
Feb.1 is the first of 10 days of festivities - known as the 'Ten Days of Dawn' -
that mark the homecoming of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to Iran, which sparked
mass protests that led to the ouster of the U.S.-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
and establishment of hard-line Islamic rule.(AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)
