Report: West suspects Iran planning new nuclear sites – Haaretz – Israel News
International agencies, inspectors and western intelligence officials believe Tehran is planning to build more nuclear enrichment sites in defiance of international demands, The New York Times reported late Saturday.
Quoting anonymous sources from several governments and international agencies, the Times reported that United Nations inspectors were looking for evidence of two such sites.
The Times reported that inspectors were tipped off by an interview given by Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, who told the Iranian Student News Agency in recent weeks that construction could start on two new enrichment sites after Iranian New Year on March 21.

?God willing,? Mr. Salehi was quoted as saying, ?we may start the construction of two new enrichment sites? in the Iranian new year, the Times reported.
United States President Barack Obama in September revealed evidence of a hidden enrichment site at Qum.
The Times went on to report that American officials had disclosed that Israel has pressed the case in talks with the U.S., saying that evidence points to what one senior official called “Qum look-alikes.”
The U.S., France and Britain are pushing Russia and China to back a new round of United Nations sanctions against Iran, which they suspect is developing nuclear weapons. The issue will be at the top of the agenda of foreign ministers from the G8 countries – U.S., Canada, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Russia – in Ottawa Monday and Tuesday.

Growing up a Catholic I hated all violence as most people do. I was always thinking that the Jewish position toward the Palistanian people was very harsh. Now I am of another opinion. I did not fully understand Islam until it effected me personally – then I became a very quick learner. We must all try to stop them overtaking the rest of the world. Now I know they will stop at nothing. They are not a religion they are a cult of stand over men who treat women and children with contempt, they have a lust for blood and violence and they hate all Christians and Jews. I saw them cheer at 9/11 – how contemptible. There is no place for them in any of our societies. Just let them fight one another and stop spending money on them and keep them out of our lands. We don’t have to pretend we love them – they don’t love us. Israel is all that is between us and them. Every other country thinks they can help the situation by love and being diplomatic – well, there is an Elephant in your bathroom, haven’t you noticed – They have no intention of stopping. Thank God for Israel.
