 TEHRAN, IRAN: (FILES) -- A giant portrait of Khaled Islambuli, an Egyptian Islamic militant executed for the 1981 assassination of president Anwar Sadat is displayed in Tehran 17 June 1999. The picture of the 'great al-Islambuli martyr' was painted by fundamentalists in a residential street named after the assassin by Iranian authorities angry over Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Iran's government has formally asked Tehran city council to remove a major barrier to restoring ties with Egypt by renaming a street dedicated to Islambuli, a top council source told AFP 05 January 2004. Iran and Egypt severed diplomatic ties in 1980, a year after Cairo gave asylum to the deposed shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and signed peace with Israel.
