...decision to come clean on his secret nuclear-weapons program could prove to be a major achievement in the world's bid to rein in rogue nuclear nations. But it has also shown how far there still is to go. Since 1980, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have visited Libya, a signatory of the 1970 Nonproliferation Treaty, and routinely reported that they found no evidence of a nuclear-weapons program, although they did stress that they could not guarantee their information was complete. Last week IAEA inspectors visited nine nuclear sites in Libya, four of which...
...IAEA believes that Libya was years away from succeeding. But the agency's critics cite the revelations as more proof that the U.N. body "does a terrible job of inspecting nations that are determined to cheat," contends Paul Leventhal, founding president of the Nuclear Control Institute. IAEA officials counter that without good intelligence from the U.S. and other nations or the right to conduct spot inspections, they cannot verify a country's claims of compliance. Libya, they say, is proof that arms-control systems need to be strengthened. Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the IAEA, says the episode should trigger soul...
...total of 10, and added to the 100 coalition troops already killed in November, the worst month for casualties since the U.S.-led invasion began in March. Final Warning IRAN The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), censured Tehran for its clandestine nuclear program. The agency's board stopped short of U.S. demands that it refer the country to the U.N. Security Council. But the IAEA did warn of stern action in the event of "further serious Iranian failures." Tehran claims its program is for civil use. Come Get Him NIGERIA President Olusegun Obasanjo...
Iran, under fire for its suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons, has made some surprisingly forthright admissions in response to questions from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Sources familiar with Iran's declaration say the country has admitted that it enriched uranium at the Kalay-e electric plant outside Tehran in violation of its agreements with the IAEA. The revelation is part of massive disclosures Tehran made in an attempt to avoid threatened international sanctions for its nuclear activities. The disclosures may at least temporarily thwart U.S. efforts to bring more international pressure on the country over the nuclear issue...
...Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that there is no "evidence" of such a program, though Iran is developing relevant technology and has shown a "pattern of concealment" over the past 18 years. At a meeting November 20 of the IAEA, the organization's 35-member board of governors will decide whether to declare Iran in noncompliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and refer it to the U.N. for possible action, as the U.S. wants, or reprimand but continue to work with it, as the U.K., France and Germany prefer. TIME's Andrew Purvis spoke to IAEA head...
