Diplomats: China Provided Intel on Iran
2008-04-02
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Diplomats say that China has given the U.N. nuclear watchdog intelligence linked to Tehran's alleged attempts to make nuclear arms.

The development is surprising because Beijing, along with Russia, has opposed U.S.-led attempts to impose harsh penalties on Tehran over its nuclear defiance of the U.N. Security Council.

Any Chinese decision to provide information to the International Atomic Energy Agency thus seems to reflect growing international unease over Iran's atomic agenda.

The diplomats spoke to The Associated Press earlier this week and Wednesday. They asked for anonymity because their information is confidential.

#2  I figured the NIE got their intel from the Russians. Either way, how responsible is it to base national security policy on intel from the likes of Chicoms or Russians?

#1  Next time someone talks to the press their head should be removed from their body and placed on a pike and displayed in the center divider of the Beltway.
