Iranian vice president travels to Pakistan

ISLAMABAD (AP) — An Iranian leader travelled to Pakistan for talks on trade and cooperation Thursday, only days before a key UN meeting on the nuclear scandal that emerged when a key Pakistani scientist acknowledged selling atomic materials on the black market.

First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref's visit to the capital, Islamabad, comes as the International Atomic Energy Agency's board prepares to convene in Vienna, Austria, on March 8 to examine Iran's nuclear programme amid mounting pressure from the United States and other countries that contend Tehran has been trying to build an atomic bomb. Iran has acknowledged hiding nearly two decades of nuclear activity, including importing enrichment technology linked to the black market network of Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan.
