<blockquote><p>The Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany&#8217;s foreign intelligence agency, has amassed evidence of a sophisticated Iranian nuclear weapons program that continued beyond 2003. This usually classified information comes courtesy of Germany&#8217;s highest state-security court. In a 30-page legal opinion on March 26 and a May 27 press release in a case about possible illegal trading with Iran, a special national security panel of the Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe cites from a May 2008 BND report, saying the agency &#8220;showed comprehensively&#8221; that &#8220;development work on nuclear weapons can be observed in Iran even after 2003.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
