LONDON [MENL] -- Iran was said to be reaching the capability to produce up
to 100 nuclear warheads per year.
A leading European scientist said Teheran was rapidly developing the
ability to manufacture tactical nuclear warheads for ballistic missiles. The
scientist, Peter Zimmerman, said Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz
could produce 100 such warheads by 2010.
Zimmerman, a professor at London's King's College and former scientific
adviser to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Natanz appeared to
be a key facility for Iran's nuclear weapons program. He said Natanz was
hosting experiments that were unrelated to a civilian atomic energy program,
an assertion repeated by Teheran.
