An Iranian cameraman who accompanied Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadenijad to the U.S. for the U.N. General Assembly has just revealed his intent to seek asylum in the U.S.

New York City-based lawyer Paul O'Dwyer is representing Hassan Gol Khanban, and confirmed that his client is seeking to defect to the U.S. but would not give the reason for the action, according to the New York Post.
