Iranian leader Rouhani's New York travel restricted

Hassan Rouhani landed in New York Monday for the UN General Assembly, but the Iranian leader won't be allowed to see much of the Big Apple while he is here. Iran's president is subject to the same strict travel restrictions imposed on staff at the Iranian mission to the United Nations in July, diplomats told AFP. Under the restrictions, Rouhani cannot venture far from the UN headquarters, which sit on the East River on the eastern side of Manhattan island.
