I just read on the 'Today in History' section that Aga Khan III predicted the start of World War II, its duration and the outcome.
Has anybody got any information on this?
The article that links to the Today in History section that tells us about Aga Khan III's prediction is in French! Has anybody got an English translation?

Aga Khan III predicted World War II?
And also his warnings as early as 1935:
SPEECH BY MOWLANA SULTAN MOHAMED SHAH AS THE FIRST DELEGATE OF INDIA AT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Geneva, Switzerland
September 13, 1935
16th Session [extracts]
HIS HIGHNESS THE AGA KHAN'S ADDRESS AT THE LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
The President: His Highness the Aga Khan, first delegate of India, will address the Assembly.
The Aga Khan (India): On the one subject that is dominating the mind of this Assembly there is much that I could say, but I am a man of few words and I shall be very brief.
... here I can speak feelingly as a member of the Disarmament Conference from the beginning -- whereas the rearmament of States is in full swing. She is troubled above all by the wars, declared or undeclared, that have been waged between members of the League.
Now a fresh trouble greater than any is on the horizon. Should the worst come to the worst -- which Heaven forbid -- who dare foretell the evils, world-spread, age-lasting, that might follow?
