Bomb Manufacturing Mullahs?

Hmmm... Smoking gun?

The UN nuclear watchdog is to meet here next week with Pakistani officials as part of its efforts to determine if Iran was using smuggled Pakistani equipment to make enriched uranium that could be used for atom bombs, diplomats said Saturday.

Pakistan had in May sent centrifuge parts to the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency at its headquarters in Vienna to enable the IAEA to compare microscopic traces of uranium on them with that found on equipment in Iran believed to have been smuggled in from Pakistan.

The IAEA has concluded that "the highly enriched uranium appears to emanate from Pakistan," from the imported equipment and not from Iranian enrichment work, a Western diplomat close to the IAEA told AFP.

Hmmm. Better keep an eye on this one.
