Iran Fails to Show Up at Nuclear Meeting

The Associated Press, Aftenposten:
Iran reneged Thursday on a pledge to provide the International Atomic Energy Agency with details of its plans to move closer to uranium enrichment. Officials at the UN nuclear watchdog agency said Tehran's representatives did not attend as promised for discussions on the program.

"The meeting never took place," said IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming, adding IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei was "still seeking clarification" of what Tehran would do Monday, when it says it will resume some work with enrichment equipment.
