A personal representative of Iran's supreme leader called for three prominent US Protestant ministers to be killed for insulting the Muslim prophet Mohammed, a report said.
The Abrar newspaper quoted Ayatollah Mohsen Mujtahed Shabestari as saying during a Friday prayer sermon in the northwestern city of Tabriz that "in our opinion, to kill these three is necessary."
"US leaders want to repeat the crusdaes," he alleged.
Shabestari, who is supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's personal representative to Iran's Azerbaijan province, only referred to the three as "the Israeli mercenaries" who needed to be "separated from other Christians".
However, other officials here have already singled out Jerry Falwell, Pat Roberston and Franklin Graham, the son of well-known televangelist Billy Graham.
In an interview broadcast on October 6 on the CBS television's "60 Minutes" news programme, Falwell called the prophet "a terrorist".
Franklin Graham said in November 2001 that Islam was "a very evil and wicked religion."
For his part, Pat Robertson said in February that Islam was a religion of violence seeking to "dominate and then, if need be, destroy".
