...It was not possible for any western physician to investigate the cause of death...

It finally has dawned on me why the regime does not want her body to be examined. I have seen video examination of a young man who was murdered by the regime.

Besides the evidence of beating, there was evidence of burns, electric burns, acid burns, mutilation of the body. I would expect that they used these unbelievably horrible methods on her and will do anything to keep this evidence from the public.

U.S. Believes Iran's Nuclear Know-how Came from Pakistan

July 23, 2003

The riddle that had stumped many of the world’s intelligence agencies over recent months appears to have been solved. The question that no one was able to answer: Where did Iran obtain the know-how to manufacture the centrifuges used in the creation of the enriched uranium used in nuclear weapons?

It now appears that Pakistan was the source for this knowledge. The United States has presented Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf with evidence backing this up, and has demanded an explanation of how such sensitive nuclear expertise was leaked to the Iranians.

It is widely believed that Iran has been operating centrifuges for over a year. This first came to light when some of the centrifuges were shown to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed ElBaradei, and a delegation of inspectors, during a visit last February to a uranium-enrichment facility at Natanz in central Iran. The existence of the facility, some of which is built underground, was revealed last year. At the time, the Iranians said that they intended to manufacture several thousand of these centrifuges, eventually reaching a total of around 50,000. Reports hinted that the centrifuges would be built in Iran, and that Tehran had no intention of purchasing them from overseas.

Western nations feared that some of the centrifuges had also been placed in a different facility, in Kalia. According to the government in Tehran, the plant is used solely to generate electricity, but it seems that Kalia was the site of Iran’s first experiments in centrifuges. IAEA inspectors asked permission to visit the plant in Kalia, and to take samples, but were denied access by the authorities.

The Iranians claim that they are only producing low-grade enriched uranium, for use in nuclear power plants. Western sources suspect, however, that the real purpose is to build nuclear weapons.

Experts had been unable to determine where Iran got the technological know-how needed to create the centrifuges. The expertise in question is highly specialized, and very few Western nations are able to create centrifuges themselves. Various intelligence services have tried to find out which country was helping Iran. Among the ‘suspect’ countries were Russia, which vehemently denied the claim, and North Korea, which is known to have aided Iran in building conventional missiles. In the end, however, information came to light pointing to Pakistan as the source of the Iranian know-how.

As far as the Americans are concerned, the discovery is highly problematic, since Pakistan – which is known to have nuclear capabilities – is considered an ally of the U.S. Musharraf, who was in Washington in May this year, has been asked to explain how the expertise reached Iran from his country. The possibility the deal was conducted by scientists in Pakistan, acting against the law and without informing the authorities, has not been ruled out.

Yes, they don't want evidence of torture exposed.
