Iran Document outlines Nuke Know-how

It looks like Iran was trying to get a copy of some kind of document:

The agency refused to make a judgment on what possible uses such casts would have. But diplomats familiar with the probe into Iran's nuclear program said then that the papers apparently were instructions on how to mold highly enriched grade uranium into the core of warheads.

In the brief report obtained Tuesday, however, the agency said bluntly that the 15-page document showing how to cast fissile uranium into metal was "related to the fabrication of nuclear weapon components."

It was obtained from some kind of shady source called the nuclear black market network. Which I guess is some kind of home shopping network for rogue states looking to get some nuke building how-to. Let's hope this isn't faked like that yellow-cake uranium from Niger crap that the Brits got fooled by.
