"An Israeli cabinet minister called on Sunday for the dismissal of the head of the UN nuclear watchdog for not doing enough to curb Iranian atomic projects with bomb-making potential.

There was no immediate International Atomic Energy Agency comment. The IAEA has long pressed for wider-ranging inspections in Iran and full cooperation with agency investigations aimed at verifying Iranian nuclear activity is wholly peaceful.

Israeli Housing Minister Zeev Boim was quoted in local media reports as saying IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradei should be sacked and then alleged in a Channel One television interview that he was an agent for the Islamic Republic.

"When you examine his behavior you cannot but reach the conclusion that he is a sort of planted agent...who has served well the interests of Iran," said Boim, a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Kadima party."
