UN Watchdog Inspects Tehran Site Flagged as Suspicious by Israelis - But Possibly Too Late
(Wall Street Journal) Laurence Norman - The UN's atomic agency has heeded calls by the U.S. and Israel to inspect a site that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed in September was housing Iranian nuclear equipment and material, but the visit may have come too late to yield proof of the claims. The International Atomic Energy Agency first sent a team of inspectors to the site in Tehran in February. But experts say that given the amount of time that has elapsed and the likely removal of equipment, it will be hard to clearly identify whether the Israeli claims are true. David Albright, a former weapons inspector who is president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, published satellite images last September that showed some containers were moved from the site after Netanyahu's announcement.
