Iran - Khomeini's Son Dies

(17 Mar 1995) T/I: 10:52:56 Ahmad Khomeini, the son of Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, died in Tehran, on Friday (17/3) after six days in coma. He was 48. A cleric and politician, Khomeini suffered a massive cardiac arrest Sunday and was pronounced "brain dead" after his admission to Baqiyatollah Hospital in north Tehran. A 30-man medical team struggled to keep him alive. But he succumbed to complications that left his liver, kidneys and respiratory system malfunctioning. On Thursday he was put on a life support machine after he was no longer able to breathe on his own. After years of living in the long shadow of his father, patriarch of the 1979 Islamic revolution, the younger Khomeini had been expected to make a grab for power following the ayatollah's death on June 3, 1989. But instead he remained largely in the shadows, apparently seeking to act as a power-broker rather than pursue the political ambitions he was known to harbour and which his father, while he was alive, had curbed.
