UN Report Cites Secret Nuclear Research by Iran
(Washington Post) Joby Warrick - The UN nuclear watchdog said Tuesday that it has "serious concerns" that Iran is secretly working toward building a nuclear bomb, citing documents pointing to Iranian scientists' extensive and possibly ongoing efforts to master the technology needed for atomic weapons. "Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear device," the IAEA said. The agency's new report included a 14-page annex describing in minute detail how Iranian scientists pursued highly specific information, skills and materials used in nuclear warhead design. The evidence laid out in the report "is pretty overwhelming," said David Albright, a former UN nuclear inspector.
