BERLIN, Dec 15: Germany expelled an Iranian diplomat posted to Berlin in July whom it suspected of trying to get his hands on materiel used in uranium enrichment, the weekly Der Spiegel reports in its issue out on Monday.

“The consular attache Mohraramalai D. made contact with a Bavarian firm of specialists, apparently trying to buy a piece of equipment which could also be used in uranium enrichment,” the magazine said.

The German foreign ministry contacted on Saturday refused to comment on the report.—AFP
