| Iran arrests nuclear experts who cooperated with IAEA |
| 2004-05-05 |
| From Geostrategy-Direct.... Iran’s government has arrested two nuclear experts who disclosed valuable information to the International Atomic Energy Agency on Teheran’s nuclear program. They must have given the IAEA something juicy... The London Arabic newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat, quoted an official of the Atomic Energy Agency of Iran as saying that one of the two detainees was an assistant to the head of the research section of the AEOI and the second official was an expert in the AEOI Saghand complex, where huge quantities of uranium were enriched after Iran signed the additional protocol of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Oops! Iran has continued to hide the extent of its nuclear program from international inspectors, raising fears that Teheran is engaged in a covert nuclear weapons program. Shocking! Shocking! We had no clue!! Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear technician who was caught supplying centrifuge technology to Libya and other rogue states, has also disclosed the Iranian nuclear program. Thanks, Abdul. You probably signed the death warrants of millions of Iranians over that profitable little transaction. The IAEA has warned Iran repeatedly over the past several months that it must fully disclose all its nuclear activities. "We have warned you repeadedly, now you leave us no choice but to report you to Kofi Annan!" *shaking finger in face of Black Turban* The Bush administration has been pushing for the IAEA to present its information on Iran’s covert nuclear program to the United Nations Security Council. Here we go again, laying the groundwork... Iran is trying to prevent the matter from going to the Security Council, which could order other action designed to halt the program. Which won’t do jack excrement, but will possibly lead to sanctions, Iran becoming a real bone fide rogue state, and the Oil for Food Program v.2.0. |

| #2 What are the odds that Lakhdar Brahimi, head of the IAEA, leaked information on the identities of the informants to the Iranian security services? Not that this would be much of a surprise. |
