| Inquiries About South Korean Sales for Iranian Nuclear Weapons |
| 2005-07-31 |
| From Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty Allegations that Iran purchased items that can be used in nuclear weapons continue to reverberate. Der Spiegel reported earlier in the week that in deals between Iran's Partoris company, South Korea's Kung-Do Enterprises, and France's EADS Sodern firm, Iran acquired nickel-63 (Ni-63) and tritium targets. An unnamed official from the Korean company said ... "We sold Ni-63 to an Iranian firm after it said it would use it in detecting gas. We obtained a memorandum from the firm to this effect." He denied the sale of tritium and doing any deals with the French firm. Ministry of Science and Technology official Yi Sun-chong said there could be a problem if the Korean company has sold Ni-63 without a permit. Another Ministry of Science and Technology official, An Sung-chun, said a January investigation of the Korean firm found that tritium exports did not occur. An Iranian nuclear official said in Tehran on 26 June that the original Der Spiegel report is the result of a "fantasy fabricated by Zionist circles," Mehr News Agency reported. |

| #12 I welcome Shipman's explanation why he has decided to make an issue of this. Because I'm have a troll moments like you Lord Mike-Mike, I like to watch the little rabbit eating your spine. |

| #11 Yet you did nothing to point out that it provides additional information. A comment like, "More information on earlier story" would have done that. Oh, OK. Good point, Robert! Everyone else, take note. . |

| #9 It isn't a duplicate article. I myself posted both of them, so I should know. This article provides additional information. I welcome Shipman's explanation why he has decided to make an issue of this. If you aren't interested in continuing developments about Iran acquiring parts for nuclear weapons, then continue on to other articles that do interest you. I didn't post it to irritate you or anyone else. . |

| #8 MS, please do not refer to Shipman's comments as "senseless" -- it reveals that you are just trying to irritate. Shipman correctly identified that you are re-posting pretty much the same story, just like your regular doses of Jihad Unspun. Why do you enjoy irritating us? It's very Aris-like. |

| #7 Shipman: Another Lord Mike-Mike duplicate post. ... I've smelled this one before.... Friday was it? Here's a previous article I myself posted on this same subject on Thursday. This article today provides new information. If you aren't interested in continuing developments on this subject, Shipman, then I suggest that you continue on to other articles and refrain from posting senseless comments on this article. But, do what you want. . |
