IAEA denies report it is sure Iran seeking atom bomb

The UN nuclear watchdog said it had no proof that Iran has or once had a covert atomic bomb program, dismissing a news report that it had concluded Iran was on its way to producing nuclear weapons.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reaffirmed IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei's warning that allegations the agency was sitting on undeniable evidence of Iranian bomb work were "politically motivated and baseless." (Reuters)
