Microsoft VIENNA - Experts from the U.N. nuclear watchdog have inspected an underground uranium enrichment plant in Iran and verified that Tehran has kept its word by freezing all sensitive nuclear work there, diplomats said on Friday.

Associated Press By EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press Writer UNITED NATIONS (AP) Senior diplomats from six key nations that have been struggling to find a way to deal with Iran's suspect nuclear program will try to take a longer, strategic view of the standoff in discussions Monday, U.N. ambassadors said. wielding U.N. the United States, Russia, China, as well as Germany will be holding talks as the council tries to overcome differences on a statement demanding a quick report on Iran's nuclear program.

Laptop Computers A team from the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) went to the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz in central Iran on Thursday and verified that no activities related to the production of uranium fuel were taking place.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Washington and its EU allies say it is time the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency sent Iran's case to the U.N. Security Council, which could eventually decide to impose sanctions on Iran. China has demurred, saying it would like talks between Iran and the EU trio to resume, but has not said it will try to block any move to report Iran to the Council. Russia, while sharing China's opposition to U.N. sanctions on Iran, has moved closer to the West's view on referral.

Notebooks Tehran has frozen its enrichment programme, which could produce fuel for nuclear power plants or weapons, under a November deal with France, Britain and Germany, which have offered Iran incentives to halt and dismantle the programme.

Lenovo The European trio shares Washington's suspicions that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons and determined to prevent Tehran from mastering the science of enriching uranium.

Hard Drive Iran, which says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only, has said the freeze at Natanz and elsewhere would last only until the end of July, when the European Union trio has promised to give Iran a detailed package of incentives.

Gateway ACCESS PROBLEMS?

Laptop Parts One diplomat with access to Iran's nuclear programme said the inspection team ran into problems when it tried to visit one facility at the 450-hectare (1,110-acre) Natanz site because the Iranians refused to grant the inspectors access.

Software "The team that got to Natanz is having a lot of trouble there," a diplomat told Reuters on Thursday night.

Hard Drives "The Iranians are very strictly limiting their access."

Electronics The problem related to one specific facility at the site and, after a delay of several hours, the situation was resolved and the team was let in, the diplomats said.

Canon During the IAEA's two-year investigation of Iran's nuclear programme, members of the board of governors have criticised Iran for not showing full transparency or granting complete and immediate access to sites.
