United Nations inspectors have found new traces of highly enriched uranium in equipment in Iran, the UN nuclear watchdog said in a report Thursday obtained by AFP.

"With reference to the environmental samples taken from some equipment at a technical university in January 2006 ... analysis of those samples showed a small number of particles of natural and high enriched uranium," said the report, which is to be presented at a meeting in Vienna next week of the UN watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Don't need Hans Blix. The UN should call in Captain Obvious.

>> They have the bomb...now what

Just a guess.. We'll give them all kinds of goodies if they pinkie-swear not to tell us they have a bomb, and then when Tel Aviv disappears in a mushroom cloud the State Dept. will shrug and claim that there was no way they could have known.

We accept the consequences hoping that their long range tests are not to close.
