(Amir Armin) Three, who witnessed the events of September 8, 1978, that led to the Islamic revolution, remember that fateful day in interviews with Radio Farda. • Notre Dam University's history professor Abbas Milani, author of the The Persian Sphinx: Amir Abbas Hoveyda and the Riddle of the Iranian Revolution, says the anti-Shah opposition was not organized and had no political plan, except for the Islamic groups under Ayatollahs. He says the number of the dead was grossly exaggerated by the opposition. Later it was revealed that half of those killed were from the police, which shows that some of the demonstrators were armed and had come to provoke the police to shoot back. • Washington-based businessman Hamid Moqadam, a former leftist, anti-Shah activist, says the political groups had no role in organizing the anti-Shah demonstrations that finally led to the revolution. Activists, including the leftists, had no notion about democracy, and from the early on it was clear that an Islamic network was moving to consolidate power. • Former member of the armed Marxist-Leninist Fedaiyan-e Khalq guerilla group Maryam Satvat says her organization had no role in organizing the events, but was in the streets in full force to see what people were saying. Ousting the Shah was so important to people at the time that nobody thought of what should come after, she adds. She said dogmatism and despotism was everywhere, even within her Marxist group, in which no one was allowed to think outside the box.

The Telegraph said Iran was capable to achieve full nuclear capability in two years and has underground facilities to enrich uranium that can house 1000 workers. (Amir Armin) Roundtable: The “Special” Courts • The UN Human Rights Commission called last week for the elimination of the Special Courts for the Clergy and the Islamic Revolutionary Courts.

The Yazd Firday prayer leader had called for checks on bikers in a bid to stem the rise of biking as a fashionable pastime for the city's youth, and the new police chief is carrying out the policy with an extra zeal, he adds. (Mahmonir Rahimi) Rich-Poor Gap Widens Despite Heavy Subsidies • The gap between the low income and high income classes widened, as, according to official stats. Paris-based economist Jamshid Asadi tells Radio Farda that the rich-poor gap maybe even greater than the officials would lead us to believe. For example, he says, clerics in charge of large-scale economic-religious cartels use the funds under their control as personal property. He adds that the huge subsidies paid by the government for everything from food to energy to medicine, reflects a sick economy choked by monopolies and special interests, who keep prices high and siphon the government subsidies. (Mahmonir Rahimi) US Rejected Iran's Offer to Hand-Over Ben Laden Kin • By means of Germany, Iran offered to hand over to the US some close relatives of Osama bin Ladan, but Washington refused to reciprocate by extraditing members of the Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) wanted in Iran on terror charges, German weekly Die Welt reports. Iran had also asked to be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.
