NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked permission to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site when he comes to New York City next week, but the request was denied, a police official said Wednesday.
The request to enter the fenced-in site was rejected because of ongoing construction there, Browne said.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters Wednesday that the United States would not support Iran's attempt to use the site for a "photo op."
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said a visit to ground zero "is a matter for the city of New York, but it seems more than odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero."
In a television appearance earlier this week, Ahmadinejad said his country wanted peace and friendship with the United States, as tensions continued to mount between the two countries.

This terrorist must not be allowed to step foot on Ground Zero. He does not want to go there to nurture peace with us. He wants to go there to lay a wreath in memory of the 19 "martyrs of Allah" (pigs are better than him).
There are people encouraging this. People, please educate yourselves. This terrorist, this nation, does not want peace with us. They want a global caliphate. They want to convert, subjugate, or kill us. They will use all means at their disposal, including Takiyya. Look it up.
The last thing I want to see is a video on MEMRI showing a video of this terrorist laying a wreath at Ground Zero with commentary in the background extolling his virtues and how he is honoring the memory of the 19 murderers.
