U.N. Nuke Inspector Unsure On Iran

[dogday]

The chief U.N. nuclear inspector said Monday his agency cannot be sure if Iran's nuclear activities are a cover for a weapons program, adding that uncertainties will persist until the country cooperates with his experts.

Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, spoke as board member nations of the IAEA gathered for a session on approving the suspension of dozens of technical aid programs to Iran as part of Security Council sanctions meant to punish the country for its nuclear defiance.

Although the issue is not expected to come up until Tuesday at the earliest, the focus of the IAEA's 35-nation board meeting will be on Iran's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment activities and linked problems.

The board also will be reviewing another key nuclear issue — North Korea's apparent willingness to ultimately dismantle its nuclear arms-making capabilities based on the Feb. 13 agreement when it pledged to take initial steps to dismantle its atomic program in return for aid.
