A delegation of Iraqi civic and community leaders who are on a State Department sponsored trip of the United States were barred from entering Memphis City Hall because the city council chairman claimed they were a security risk. The city council chair warned he would evacuate the building and bring in the bomb squards if the Iraqi delegation stepped foot in city hall. The Iraqis were in Memphis to learn about the civil rights struggle in the south.
