Cleric Sheik Adel Najm al-Saedi, and his children Bager, right,
and Hassan, left, work with a computer as they are renting the house
where for more than a decade Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini made his
ablution before prayers, that leads to the final resting place of
Imam Ali, son-in-law of the Prophet Mohammad on Thursday May, 1,
2003. Twenty-five years after Khomeini left Najaf and led the Islamic
Revolution that toppled the Shah and ended 2,500 years of monarchy
in Iran, there is very little of his legacy left in Najaf, where
he spent much of of his 16-year exile after being expelled by Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in 1964. (AP Photo/Hasan Sarbakhshian)
