IR=NiNU0LEPR MACIN''EIL: An authoritative British publication that
BOMB reports on weapons said today that Iran is in the final stages of making a
nuclear bomb. The Publication, Jane's Defense Weekly, said that the bomb is
likely to be ready for use within two years, when West German experts finish
building a nuclear power plant in southern Iran. However, United Press
International quoted a knowledgeable source as casting doubt on that
timetable. This source said it would take several years to complete the
power plant and several more years to build the bomb.
