US official says Mujahideen Khalq lying about 'new' nuclear site ...

"..."This is certainly part of the secret weapons program. This has no peaceful intentions whatsoever," said Alireza Jafarzadeh, a former NCRI official.
The group had satellite photographs which appeared to show increasing construction activity in the area, which lies close to an existing Iranian army garrison.
But they presented no hard evidence to support the assertion that the site included a network of underground chambers designed to hold centrifuges to enrich nuclear material in violation of United Nations sanctions.
U.S. officials reacted cautiously, noting that the NCRI had made similar claims in the past. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the United States already knew about the Qazvin facility.
"This facility has been under construction for years, and we've known about it for years. While there's still some ambiguity about its ultimate purpose -- not unusual for something that's still taking shape -- there's no reason at this point to think it's nuclear," the official said ...
David Albright, head of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, noted that the NCRI's previous assertions have sometimes turned out to be "unsubstantiated, exaggerated, or wrong."..."
