US may attack Iran: British report

The Guardian newspaper reported that much of the intelligence inputs provided by US spy agencies to UN inspectors on Iran8217;s nuke facilities has proved to be 8220;unfounded8221;. Most of it has turned out to be incorrect, the report said quoting an IAEA diplomat.

8220;They gave us a list of sites. The inspectors did some follow-up, they went to some military sites, but there was no sign of banned nuclear activities,8221; he said.

The CIA said it found plans to build a nuclear warhead on a stolen laptop computer supplied by an informant inside Iran. In July 2005, US intelligence officials showed printed versions of the material to IAEA officials. But Tehran rejected the material as forgeries and there are reservations about its authenticity in IAEA.

8220;First of all, if you have a clandestine programme, you don8217;t put it on laptops which can walk away,8221; one official told The Guardian.
