A security group is threatening to boycott the Hilton hotel chain for planning to host Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during next month’s UN General Assembly meeting, The Post has learned.
United Against Nuclear Iran said the Hilton Manhattan East should not be accepting “blood money” from Ahmadinejad and the Iranian delegation.
“The Hilton’s short-term profit from hosting the Iranian delegation is far outweighed by the grave implications of supporting a terrorist state that is illegally developing nuclear weapons,” UANI President Mark Wallace said in letters to Hilton CEO Christopher Nassetta and Manhattan East GM Louis Lach.
Wallace is a former homeland-security official.
The hotel declined comment.
