Russia to delay Iran nuclear plant - source

MOSCOW, Feb 19 (Reuters) Russia will delay construction of Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant because Iran was behind with its payments, a source in Russia's nuclear agency told Reuters today.

The source said it was ''obvious that the timetable on building the plant will need to be corrected'' because Tehran had not been making payments for the work for more than a month.
