              UN: Iran Installing Advanced Enrichment Centrifuges

   The United Nations nuclear watchdog says Iran has begun installing
   advanced centrifuges at its main uranium enrichment site.
   The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran has
   started installing IR-2m centrifuges at its Natanz plant south of
   Tehran. The IAEA believes at least 100 of these centrifuges have been
   mounted inside the plant.
   If operated successfully, the advanced centrifuges could speed up the
   enrichment of uranium to a level the West fears can be used to produce
   an atomic weapon.
   Iran says its nuclear program has peaceful aims.
   The report comes ahead of a meeting between Iran and six world powers
   -- the U.S., Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany -- next Tuesday
   in Kazakhstan . Previous international efforts to address concerns
   about Iran`s nuclear program have made little progress.
   The West suspects Iran is developing a nuclear weapons capability under
   the guise of a civilian atomic energy program, a charge Iran rejects.
