Iran supreme leader has terminal cancer: WikiLeaks

Fav Tag:
Wikileaks LONDON: Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has terminal cancer and could be dead "within months," according to a US document released by WikiLeaks and published by a British newspaper.         
The memo, sent from the US consulate in Istanbul, quotes a businessman with close links to former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani as saying that Khamenei had been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukaemia.     
"Khamenei is likely to die within a matter of months," the August 2009 memo, revealed by the whistle-blowing website, said.       
"As a result, Rafsanjani has stopped campaigning within the Assembly of Experts to challenge Khamenei, and now is focused on 'letting nature take its course'," it said.
