TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian religious center has sent Chelsea Clinton several books explaining the Koran, Islam’s holy book, a newspaper reported Thursday.The Akhbar daily newspaper did not say whether Chelsea requested the books from the Amir Momenan Scientific and Religious Research Center, which is in the central city of Isfahan.

On Monday, another newspaper, the Tehran Times, reported that the center had sent a copy of the Koran to President Clinton’s daughter at her request. Chelsea is a freshman at Stanford University.

The center has been known to send English-language translations of the Koran to people in the United States, Canada and Japan who have requested them. The Koran is written in Arabic.

The other books sent to Chelsea included three English-language texts explaining the Koran and a book of sayings by Islam’s prophet Mohammed, Akhbar said.

The United States severed relations with Iran after Muslim militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979 and took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. The Islamic Revolution toppled the U.S.-backed shah.
