Iran opens N-sites for tourists

Published October 5, 2006

TEHRAN, Oct 4: Tourists visiting Iran might be able to add an unusual stop-off on their itinerary — a trip to one of the Islamic republic’s nuclear sites at the centre of a standoff with the international community.

The state news agency IRNA reported on Wednesday that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has given permission for tourists to visit nuclear sites as proof that Iran’s atomic activities are peaceful.

No details were given on the nature of the visits that would be allowed.—AFP
