TEHRAN, Nov 28 (AFP) - A hardline Iranian newspaper called Thursday for a new front to be opened against Israel so that "Zionists" no longer feel safe anywhere in the world, just hours after twin attacks on Israeli targets in Kenya.

"After the lightning success of the Intifada against the Zionists, more and more Muslim revolutionaries have reached the conclusion that we should open a front outside occupied Palestine that targets the security of the Zionists and their protectors," the Kayhan newspaper said in an editorial.

"They should all be killed and expelled from the areas where they have expelled you," wrote the afternoon paper's editor Hossein Shariatmadari, after he noted the breaking news of the twin attacks in Kenya.

Shariatmadari is well known for his hardline views.

Iran does not recognise the existence of the state of Israel.
