UN nuke inspectors leave for key talks in Tehran

   VIENNA (AP) -- A senior U.N. nuclear expert says his team is leaving for
Tehran with hopes that Iranian officials will agree to talk about suspicions that
the Islamic Republic has worked -- or is working -- on a clandestine atomic arms
program.
   Herman Nackaerts of the International Atomic Energy Agency is heading a group
 of experts focusing on the allegations, which Iran continues to deny.
   Nackaerts told reporters Sunday before boarding a flight to Tehran "the highest
priority remains of course the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear
 program."
   The trip is the second one in less than a month as the IAEA attempts to dent
nearly four years of Iranian refusal to cooperate with its probe. IAEA experts
came back from their last visit in late January with no concrete results.
