Algeria denies Spanish report on nuclear program

Spokesman for the Algerian Foreign Ministry, Abdul Aziz al-Sebaa, dismissed as groundless and void the report published by a Spanish daily on Saturday quoting a report by the Spanish intelligence that Algeria continues with a nuclear program that would enable it within two years to produce Plutonium.

The Algerian minister added that Algeria honors all its obligations and that all Algerian nuclear firms are dedicated to civil and peaceful purposes. He added that according to an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Algerian firms are monitored by the agency which has Geneva as its headquarters.
