Espionage scenario to question Iran`s faith in IAEA accord foiled

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Dec 1, IRNA -- Ministry of Information said on Wednesday that 
the intelligence officers have arrested an individual portraying 
himself as managing a company involved in manufacturing centrifuges in
an orchestrated attempt to prove that Iran still has not stopped 
centrifuge assembling. 
"An individual `Asghar S` with a record of espionage for 
foreigners had made arrangements with forged papers to declare himself
in charge of a company that is still assembling centrifuges," the 
Information Ministry said. 
The Information Ministry said that the individual aimed to bring 
under question Iranian commitment to the accord it clinched with the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). 
"Forging a contract to that effect, the individual had embarked on
racketeering. Our personnel managed to arrest him." 
The Information Ministry said that raising the forged document, 
the individual wanted, first of all, to receive money from the 
respective organization in Iran adding that US espionage network had 
been behind such a scenario to prove that Iran is not committed to its
accord with the IAEA.
