Iran denies secret nuke activities, Powell differs

8216;8216;I have seen some information that would suggest they have been actively working on delivery systems,8217;8217; Powell told reporters in Brazil. 8216;8216;I8217;m talking about what one does with a warhead.8217;8217;

The National Council of Resistance of Iran NCRI said on Wednesday that Iran obtained weapons-grade uranium and a nuclear bomb design from Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan.

Hossein Mousavian, Foreign Policy Committee secretary at Iran8217;s Supreme National Security Council, said that was a lie. 8216;8216;It is a well-timed lie as well. The group wants to make another fuss ahead of the IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency board meeting on November 25,8217;8217; said Mousavian. 8216;8216;They want to poison the board8217;s atmosphere.8217;8217;

Since 2002, the NCRI has given accurate tip-offs about nuclear plants which Iran later declared to the UN agency. The exile group also said Khan had given Iran a warhead design some time between 1994 and 1996.

8216;8216;I have seen intelligence which would corroborate what this dissident group has said and it should be of concern to all parties,8217;8217; Powell said. 8212;Reuters
