Re: Iran's Ad for Nuclear Reactors

Rosett Tracks Down Details of "Iran's Ad to buy Nuclear Reactors"
PJM Seattle, May 6, 2007
Claudia Rosett @ The Rosett Report did some digging into the background of the ad:

“The ad reads like something out of a Graham Greene novel, including phone numbers, an email address for a “Mr. Esmaeili,” and details of an Austrian bank account to which interested bidders are invited to transfer a 15,000 Euro fee to obtain bidding specifications for the reactors. Wondering if it was a spoof, I called the phone number, and was directed — I’m not making this up — to the office of Iran’s ambassador to the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, no less, in Vienna.” Read the rest HERE.
