Iran offers 2-month atomic enrichment halt: Diplomat

Berlin, Sep 11: Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani offered a 2-month suspension of its nuclear enrichment programme in weekend talks with European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, an EU diplomat said.

''Larijani offered a 2-month suspension. But we don't know any details about when it would begin, whether before or after negotiations with Iran on the (incentives) package would begin,'' said the EU diplomat yesterday from one of the six countries that offered Iran incentives to freeze its uranium enrichment programme.

He was speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to talk with journalists.
