A U.S. newspaper has accused Powell of making unsubstantiated allegations about Iran.
A U.S. newspaper has accused the U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell of making unsubstantiated allegations about Iran's nuclear program.
The Washington Post reported that the intelligence used by Powell about Iran's nuclear capabilities is unverified and based on an "unvetted, single source".
The information, which two U.S. officials said had not been verified, could be significant if true but an embarrassment if not.
In February 2003, Powell made similar allegations about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, which relied on dubious intelligence and which so far has proved untrue.
