WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US government posted on the Internet Iraqi documents that explain how to build a nuclear bomb, the New York Times reported on its website.
The Times said that officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency had complained to US officials last week about the postings of "roughly a dozen" documents from Iraq's pre-1991 nuclear research that contained diagrams, equations and other details for making a nuclear bomb.
The Times cited experts who said the documents "constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb."
The US government posted the bomb-related documents on a website set up last March to make available to the public a huge archive of Iraqi government papers, hoping that the public would help sift through the archive for useful information government translators did not have time to search for.
The Times said that earlier in the year UN arms control officials had complained about documents on the website that had information on producing extremely dangerous nerve agents sarin and tabun.
