(AP-Washington Post) George Jahn - A drawing based on information from inside an Iranian military site shows an explosives containment chamber of the type needed for nuclear arms-related tests that UN inspectors suspect Tehran has conducted there. An official of a country tracking Iran's nuclear program said it proves the structure exists. The official said the image is based on information from a person who had seen the chamber at the Parchin military site. Olli Heinonen, until last year the UN nuclear agency's deputy director general in charge of the Iran file, said the drawing was "very similar" to a photo he recently saw that he believes to be the pressure chamber the IAEA suspects is at Parchin. On Monday in Vienna, the IAEA will meet with Iranian officials and renew its attempt to gain access to the chamber.
