Khatami romps home


TEHERAN, JUNE 9. The Iranian President, Mr. Mohammad Khatami, crushed his opponents in presidential elections, winning a decisive mandate to forge ahead with his controversial democratic reforms.

The 57-year-old, accused by conservatives of undermining the Islamic regime by allowing unprecedented freedom, showed that the people were clearly on his side after romping to a second term with nearly 80 per cent of the popular vote.
