"Four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons program they were testing the component that triggers the explosion of a nuclear bomb, according to a new report. Monday's edition of British newspaper The Times includes an exclusive report, based on confidential documents, proving Iran was working on a neutron initiator as recently at 2007. "An Asian intelligence source" confirmed the documents are authentic evidence of nuclear weapons work. According to physicist David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, uranium deuteride, a neutron source described by one of the technical documents, has no possible use other than in a nuclear weapon. “Although Iran might claim that this work is for civil purposes, there is no civil application,” he told The Times. “This is a very strong indicator of weapons work.”"
