http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031111/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iran_nuclear&cid=540&ncid=716VIENNA, Austria - A confidential U.N. nuclear agency report criticized Iran for a "pattern of concealment" about its nuclear program but said no evidence has been found to back U.S. claims it tried to make atomic bombs, according to diplomats.
The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency also found that Iran had produced small amounts of enriched uranium and plutonium, the Washington Post reported.
Meanwhile, Iran announced in Moscow that it has suspended its enrichment of uranium and agreed to additional U.N. inspections of its nuclear facilities.

U.S. officials will likely seize on a passage in the report saying that Tehran's recent disclosures "clearly show that in the past, Iran had concealed many aspects of its nuclear activities, which resulted in breaches of its obligations of the safeguard agreement."

Diplomats said the United States and its allies would seize on any ambiguity in ElBaradei's report concerning enrichment and other suspicious activities in making a case against Iran. They said the ElBaradei report did not make a judgment on the source of the highly enriched uranium, saying more investigation was needed.
