Secret document exposes Iran’s nuclear trigger
Catherine Philp in Washington
Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times show that
Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.
The notes, from Iran’s most sensitive military nuclear project, describe a
four-year plan to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb
that triggers an explosion. Foreign intelligence agencies date them to early
2007, four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons
programme.
An Asian intelligence source last week confirmed to The Times that his
country also believed that weapons work was being carried out as recently as
2007 — specifically, work on a neutron initiator.
