Iran Freezes Nuclear Inspections After It Is Censured by the U.N
By CRAIG S. SMITH

Published: March 14, 2004

PARIS, March 13 — Iran indefinitely suspended international inspections of its nuclear facilities on Saturday in an angry response to a resolution by the United Nations atomic agency that criticized its activities.

The suspension came after a week of tense negotiations at the Vienna headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency, where Iran sought to quash and then soften international censure of its failure to fully disclose its clandestine nuclear program to the world.

"Today, I.A.E.A. inspectors were expected to arrive in Iran," Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Hassan Rowhani, said at a news conference in Iran's capital, Tehran. "We will not allow them to come until Iran sets a new date for their visit. This is a protest by Iran in reaction to the passage of the resolution."

There was just a third explosion in Ashdod. Looks like they were targeting the rescue workers.

Coming to a disaster near you as soon as the islamofacsists can arrange it.
