Iran testing nuclear weapons, claims opposition

Ahead of a key trip to Teheran by the chief of the UN atomic watchdog agency, an Iranian opposition group said it had evidence of a new secret site used by Teheran to test equipment for a nuclear weapons programme.

Iran is facing an October 31 deadline to essentially disprove it has plans to make nuclear weaponry, and Mohamed El Baradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, will fly to Teheran tomorrow to appeal for more cooperation.
