President Mohammad Khatami waves to the crowd as he visits the mausoleum of the late
spritual 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
