Egypt rejects charges IAEA chief helping it with secret nuclear program

Egypt's ambassador to the UN atomic agency blasted as "totally baseless" a French newspaper report Tuesday that the Egyptian head of the agency Mohamed ElBaradei was helping Cairo hide a secret nuclear program.

"There is no clandestine program and therefore there is no dossier," ambassador Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy told AFP.

"The issue of a connection between Egypt and Tripoli in the nuclear field is totally baseless," Ramzy said.

1. There it is...

I was waiting for this. No way ElBaradei was going to get away with reporting the missing explosives to the world without retribution.

He was reacting to a report in the French newspaper Liberation, citing unnamed Western diplomats, that the now dismantled Libyan nuclear program "had Egyptian links."

<SNIP>

Liberation said the charges "by ricochet now are reaching Mohamed ElBaradei, accused by some diplomatic missions of using his influence as the head of the IAEA to put the brakes on the agency truly plunging into this dossier."

I wonder which Western diplomats and missions these could be? Hmmm....

Nah, couldn't be the ones with the US flag could it?

ElBaradei as a payback for his releasing the information about the 350 tons of missing explosives??? Hmmmmmm.
