Report: Iran General Gives Nuclear Info
THE JERUSALEM POST ^ | July 8, 2007

Posted on 07/08/2007 8:43:33 AM PDT by Fennie

Ali-Reza Asghari, the Iranian general who went missing in Turkey nearly half a year ago, is currently being held in a secure US intelligence facility, it was reported on Sunday.

During his interrogation, Asghari gave over information on the running of the Iranian government and on the country's nuclear program, Yediot Aharonot reported.

According to Sunday's report, CIA agents contacted Asghari, who met them in Istanbul. Asghari has since revealed new and relevant information about Iran's nuclear progress, saying that Iran has also developed the technology to enrich uranium with lasers.

Laser enrichment is a relatively old technique, but Iran has evidently added chemical enhancements that make the technology more advanced, the report said.

Asghari apparently acquired his knowledge during his time as a senior officer in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, who were often responsible for guarding the country's nuclear facilities. He was also a member of the Iranian security council.

I guess there will be a lot of truck traffic scurrying around Iran. They'll have to relocate their nuke operations.
