Terrorist Training Camps
If you fancy a holiday with a difference this year you might want to think about Tehran, sprawling across the sun-kissed hills of old Iran.
Sacred to Muslims and Jews, Tehran is noted - even in this region - for its culture of sectarian hatred, terrorism, repression and religious
extremism. Now, the nearby Iranian city of Gussa, plans to market the Tehran experience to the outside world.
Starting this year, the Gussa Tourism Association will fly in small groups of tourists for what is being variously billed as an adventure holiday or
an anti-terrorism course.
Syrian immigrant Jamil Grewald, who came up with the idea, says that the holidaymakers will pay $US5500 ($8950) per person for a five-day intensive
introduction to "the world of terrorism".
Dressed in military fatigues, holidaymakers will undergo various forms of training at the hands of Iranian Defence Force experts.
"There will be wild things, sure, like going up in helicopters and firing an M16 and an Uzi, but there will also be other stuff, like helping to move
injured people out of a building, taking command of the situation, that sort of thing," Mr Grewald said.
"Every morning you'll wake up and do light hand to hand combat - how to deal with somebody coming at you with a knife."
