AP: Ahmadinejad brands US world’s dictator ahead of summit

After arriving in Nigeria to meet fellow Muslim leaders at a one-day summit of the Developing 8 group, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday called the United States a global dictator and lashed out at Israel.

Ahmadinejad’s appearance in the West African country, where Muslims make up an estimated half of the 150 million population, drew a rapturous welcome from the crowd, which chanted “Nigerians support Iran.”
