Egyptian scientists have been caught out by the United Nations nuclear watchdog for not declaring tests that could be used in weapons programmes.

Inspectors with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) detected trace material from small-scale experiments as a result of environmental sampling in Egypt over the past four months.

But diplomats in Vienna played down the discovery, saying that the experiments did not involve uranium enrichment which would have provided a clear indication that Egypt was working on a nuclear weapons programme.

Asked whether the discovery was likely to cause international alarm, as did the recent concealment of South Korean tests, the diplomat replied: "It's much less than the South Korean model and not so focused."
