'New' secret Iranian atomic site


. . 'New' secret Iranian atomic site
From correspondents in Vienna
October 14, 2003

IRAN is secretly building a nuclear site in the west of the country to test centrifuges that could be used to make highly enriched uranium for military purposes, a leading Iranian opposition group said.

The site, 15 kilometres from the city of Isfahan, is used to test 120 and 180 centrifugues that can be used to produce highly enriched uranium, which is neccessary for making nuclear weapons, said a spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCR).

Iran, which says its nuclear programme is for civilian and not nuclear purposes, said the traces came from accidental contamination from nuclear material imported from abroad.

The NCR spokesman for Austria, Firouz Mahvi, said that the 150,000-hectare (370,000-acre) Isfahan site is known under the name of a "fuel research and production centre" and also has other installations operating for Iran's nuclear programme.

1. If not the Bushies, who gains by having such an article published?...
Remember, Iran is on the short-list of those countries in the Middle East that the U. S. has plans to attack. So is Syria...have you noticed the articles appearing in print trying to connect Syria to WMDs, Saddam's "hidden wealth", etc.?

It's all part of the overall PNAC plan for Middle Eastern domination.

2. "said a spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran"
This reminds me of Chalabi and his goons with their WMD information about Iraq.
