March 8  A key piece of evidence linking Iraq to a nuclear weapons
program appears to have been fabricated, the United Nations chief
nuclear inspector said yesterday in a report that called into question
U.S. and British claims about Iraqs secret nuclear ambitions.

 DOCUMENTS THAT purportedly showed Iraqi officials shopping for uranium
in Africa two years ago were deemed not authentic after careful scrutiny
by U.N. and independent experts, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told the U.N. Security
Council.
       ElBaradei also rejected a key Bush administration claim  made
twice by the president in major speeches and repeated by Secretary of
State Colin L. Powell yesterday  that Iraq had tried to purchase
high-strength aluminum tubes to use in centrifuges for uranium
enrichment. Also, ElBaradei reported finding no evidence of banned
weapons or nuclear material in an extensive sweep of Iraq using advanced
radiation detectors.
