CLAIMS AGAINST PRESIDENT

Five Americans who were involved in the Iranian embassy siege in 1979 have accused Iran's new hardline President-elect of being one of their captors.

Militant students seized the US Embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

Five of those hostages now believe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was involved in the incident.

"This is the guy. There's no question about it," said former hostage Chuck Scott, a retired Army colonel.

"You could make him a blond and shave his whiskers, put him in a zoot suit and I'd still spot him."
