Reuters, BRUSSELS, September 13 - Iran is making 5,000 centrifuges that can be used to produce enriched nuclear fuel for weapons and almost two-thirds of the machines are ready for use, an exiled Iranian opposition group said on Tuesday.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which has reported accurately about Tehran's nuclear programme in the past, is the political wing of the militant People's Mujahideen Organisation (MKO) and is listed by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organisation.

NCRI, September 13 - In protest to a visit to New York by clerical regime’s president, thousands of Iranian-Americans are preparing for a major demonstration outside the United Nations Headquarters on September 14, 2005.

According to Iranian state-run news agency, IRNA, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Tehran for New York on Tuesday to attend the 60th session of the UN General Assembly. Prior to his departure he met Ali Khamenei, supreme leader of the clerical regime.

The media in Iran reported yesterday that Ahmadinejad was removed from the list of speakers at the UN General Assembly and his body guards would not be allowed to get off the plane. In the meantime the visa issued to him restricted his movement to within 25 miles of the UN headquarters in New York. 

Members of the European Parliament, Mr. Chris Davies from UK and Mrs. Anne Van Lancker from Belgium, wrote in separate letters to the Iraqi president expressing their profound concern over one clause in the draft constitution that, in their opinion, contradicted previsions of international instruments on political refugees and asylum rights.

NCRI, September 12 - Mr. Jovani Bianchi, member of Italian Parliament said in a letter to the Iraqi Prime Minister: "The Iranian regime has pressured Iraqi officials during the past two years to extradite members of the PMOI to Iran. The Iranian regime will do its utmost to manipulate the loose wording of the third clause of Article 21 of the Iraqi Draft constitution to eliminate its opponents."

NCRI, September 11 - Professor Eric David, President of the Center for International Law at the “Université Libre de Bruxelles” raised his points on the Iraqi new constitution concerning refugees in that country and warned of the Iranian clerics meddling in its preparation. His letter to the Iraqi President and other competent authorities is as follows:

NCRI, Septembre 10 - Mullahs' Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki is traveling to New York to take part in the United Nations General Assembly session, Iranian state-controlled media reported.

The presence of a terrorist criminal in the United States and the United Nations blatantly contradicts U.S. law and U.N.'s objectives.

Mottaki was appointed as ambassador to Turkey in 1985. He has a long record in planning and organizing terrorist operations particularly against anti-fundamentalist Turkish intellectuals and Iranian dissidents abroad. He was directly involved in the abduction of Mr. Abol-Hassan Mojtahedzadeh, an Iranian Resistance activist, in Istanbul in 1988 and the attempt on the lives of Messrs. Mohammad Mohaddessin, NCRI's Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman and Hossein Abedini , a committee member in Istanbul in 1990. Mr. Abedini was shot and critically wounded. He was in a coma for several months and continues to suffer from complications of his wounds.
