Iran has underground uranium enrichment facility, exile asserts

From Knight-Ridder:

Iran has built a secret underground facility inside a tightly guarded military complex to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons, an Iranian exile charged on Thursday.
The allegation, which couldn't immediately be confirmed, was leveled by Alireza Jafarzadeh, an exile whose previous claims helped reveal that Iran had been conducting clandestine nuclear activities for some 20 years.
Iran doesn't have diplomatic relations with the United States, and the Iranian mission to the United Nations didn't immediately return two telephone calls seeking a response to Jafarzadeh's latest allegation. Iran has repeatedly said its nuclear program is for electricity production and denied Bush administration allegations that it's secretly developing nuclear weapons.

A U.S. official, who insisted on anonymity because the matter involved intelligence methods, said the claim could not be substantiated "at this point."


Puh-leeze.

This exile doesn't happen to go by the name of Chalabi, does he? How many times is the press going to sit on the same damned whoopee cushion?
