ISLAMABAD, NOV. 18. The Pakistani Government expressed scepticism on Thursday over a claim by an Iranian Opposition group that Abdul Qadeer Khan, the disgraced father of Pakistan's nuclear programme, had given Iran a blueprint for a nuclear bomb and some weapons-grade uranium. ``We do not attach importance to this report or claim,'' a Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news conference in Islamabad. ``The validity of this claim is being questioned and it is being viewed with scepticism.'' 'No nuclear facility' AFP reports from Teheran: A senior Iranian official today denied the allegations that the regime was running a secret nuclear bomb facility near Teheran, and indicated that U.N. inspectors would be allowed to visit the site. ``I totally deny these allegations. This site is not a nuclear site and has nothing to do with our nuclear activities. Iran has no undeclared nuclear activities,'' a top diplomat and nuclear negotiator, Hossein Moussavian, told AFP. - Agencies Signs noticed: Powell Sridhar Krishnaswami reports from Washington: The U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell, has said signs of Iran trying to develop technology to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile have been noticed. "I have seen some information that would suggest they have been actively working on delivery system ... You do not have a weapon until you can put it in something that can deliver a weapon," he told reporters travelling with him to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum Meeting in Chile. "I am talking about what one does with a warhead. We are talking about information that says that they not only have [the] missiles but information that suggests they are working hard about how to put the two together."
