ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK Iran was rocked by bombings on Sunday, killing at least nine and wounding more than 30, as dozens of journalists from around the world gathered in advance of the presidential election this Friday. One of those journalists, actor Sean Penn--covering the events for the San Francisco Chronicle--was involved in a separate incident, and had his video camera confiscated for a time."

"North Korea to help Iran dig secret missile bunkers"
By Con Coughlin
(Filed: 12/06/2005)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iran is secretly negotiating with North Korea to build a network of underground bunkers to conceal its clandestine nuclear weapons project.
A team of construction experts has arrived in Teheran to conduct a survey of Iranian requirements. It included a senior North Korean specialist in underground construction who helped to design the bunkers that contain Pyongyang's illegal weapons programme.
Current talks centre on whether the North Koreans will undertake the work for the Iranians, or act as advisers to Iranian construction companies.
The North Koreans specialise in the equipment and technology used in the construction of underground complexes. In the past, the Communist dictatorship has supplied tunnel-digging equipment for military purposes to Iraq, Syria and Libya.
The legal department of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which is undertaking the project, recently summoned the managers of dozens of construction companies to discuss possible contracts.
The disclosure that Iran is continuing with its efforts to conceal details of its nuclear weapons programme comes as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations-sponsored nuclear watchdog, prepares to publish later this week the latest report by its weapons inspectors into Iran's nuclear programme.
"The Iranians are clearly feeling the heat over their attempts to build a nuclear bomb," said a senior Western intelligence official last week. "They are desperate to keep the bomb-making part of their programme secret." Iran insists that it is interested only in developing peaceful nuclear energy, but American and British officials are convinced that Teheran is working on a clandestine nuclear weapons project."
