Sudanese President Omar Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes, will reportedly attend a counterterrorism conference that is scheduled to take place in Tehran on June 25 and 26.
The semiofficial Mehr news agency says Bashir will arrive in the Iranian capital on June 25 to participate in the forum -- which is titled Global Campaign against Terrorism Conference -- as a "special guest" because his country has faced terrorist attacks.
Bashir became the first sitting head of state to be targeted by the ICC in March 2009 when the court issued an arrest warrant for him on counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.
Not everyone seems to be happy with the decision to invite the Sudanese leader to Iran, though.
