IAEA team in Iran for nuclear talks
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/01/201212941556996640.html
Iran has said it will co-operate with the IAEA but will not give up its sovereign right to uranium enrichment [Reuters]
Officials from the United Nations nuclear agency have arrived in Tehran for talks aimed at allaying concerns that Tehran is seeking a nuclear weapon.
It was still unclear whether the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team, headed by chief inspector Herman Nackaerts, would inspect nuclear sites or just discuss with Iranian officials possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme.
Although not officially disclosed, the IAEA team is expected to meet with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saedi Jalili and atomic chief Fereydoun Abbasi.
There will be no meeting with Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi, who left Tehran earlier on Saturday to attend the African Union summit in Ethiopia.
