Iran May Have Continued Weapons Research After 2003, IAEA Chief Says
(Washington Post)Joby Warrick - Iran May Have Continued Weapons Research After 2003, IAEA Chief Says The head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said Monday that his agency cannot rule out the possibility that Iran was actively seeking nuclear weapons technology, citing intelligence on suspicious research by Iranian scientists that occurred as recently as a few years ago. Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said it is crucial that Iran come clean on its nuclear past, granting full access to Iranian facilities and documents as well as key scientists believed involved in the work. "Iran's activities could be continuing up until now.... I have asked Iran to clarify," Amano said during a conference on nuclear nonproliferation in Washington.
