IAEA inspectors arrives in Iran to visit new nuclear site

TEHRAN, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Four inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Iran early Sunday in order to visit Iran's newly-disclosed uranium enrichment plant near Qom, a Xinhua photographer said.

The inspectors, who were expected to stay in Iran for two or three days, will visit the nuclear site near Qom later Sunday, according to their agenda announced earlier by the IAEA.

Last month, Iran confirmed that it is building a new nuclear fuel enrichment plant near the central city of Qom. In reaction, the IAEA asked Tehran to provide detailed information and access to the new nuclear facility as soon as possible.

Leaders of the United States, France and Britain have condemned Iran's alleged deception to the international community involving covert activities in the new underground nuclear site.
