Iranian President Ahmadinejad to Speak at UN Amid Row over Iranian Nuclear Program
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is headed to the United States for a speech tomorrow to the United Nations General Assembly. His visit comes against a backdrop of widely diverging accounts around Irans nuclear activities. Last month, a controversy erupted when the Associated Press reported the UNs nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, had concluded Iran possesses the capability for a nuclear bomb and had worked on a missile system to carry an atomic warhead. The IAEA has denied the report and says it has no evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program.
