TEHRAN, IRAN.- Two conservative Iranian women approach at the Behesteh Zahra cemetery, just south of Tehran, to see a monument (L) about 1.5 meters (5 feet) high that features sculpted images of US troops picking up dead bodies, as a hardline Iranian group unveiled 02 December 2004 a monument in memory of the "martyrs" who carried out the 1983 bombing of a US marine barracks in the Lebanese capital Beirut that killed 241 troops. With photographers present at the unveiling ceremony, spectators were told to cover their faces by organisers, a group which calls itself the "Committee for the Glorification of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement".
