Ahmadinejad, who would be visiting the U.S to address the UN General Assembly on Sunday, had requested permission to visit the WTC site, but his request was turned down citing ongoing construction work there.
Also the NYPD would not allow the visit keeping in mind security concerns. The U.S ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalizad, said that the U.S would not allow the WTC site to be used for Iran to put up its anti-terriorism show. He added that Iran needed to do a lot more to convince the world that it opposed the girth of terrorism.
The request to enter the fenced-in site was rejected because of ongoing construction there, Browne said. [source]
