Report: IAEA hiding evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons

The International Atomic Energy Agency, and its feckless leader Mohamed ElBaradei (pictured) are hiding information that shows that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons according to western diplomats.

The officials and diplomats said that the International Atomic Energy Agency under Director General Mohamed ElBaradei was refraining from publishing evidence obtained by its inspectors over the past few months that indicate Iran was pursuing information about weaponization efforts and a military nuclear program.

ElBaradei, who will soon vacate his post, has said that the agency does not have any evidence that suggests Iran is developing a nuclear weapon.

But the sources told Haaretz that the new evidence was submitted to the IAEA in a classified annex written by its inspectors in the Islamic Republic. The report was said to have been signed by the head of the IAEA team in Iran.

The classified report, according to the sources, was not incorporated into the agency's published reports. The details, they said, were censored by senior officials of the IAEA in the organization's Vienna headquarters.

American, French, British and German senior officials have recently pressured ElBaradei to publish the information next month in a report due to be released at the organization's general conference.

ElBaradei's term is up in December. I would love to see Israel attack Iran's nuclear weapons capability on his watch. The man deserves a slap in the face and a kick you know where. He has done more to help the 'Iranian brothers' obtain nuclear weapons than anyone else whose name isn't A.Q.
