IRAN NUCLEAR BOMB MAY BE POSSIBLE BY 2009

An exclusive ABC News report begins: Iran has more than tripled its ability to produce enriched uranium in the last three months, adding some 1,000 centrifuges which are used to separate radioactive particles from the raw material. The development means Iran could have enough material for a nuclear bomb by 2009, sources familiar with the dramatic upgrade tell ABC News. This would be much sooner than the 2015 date previously indicated by U.S. intelligence. Meanwhile, Iran says each of the British captives have admitted guilt, but a trial might not be necessary (New York Times).
