DW: Iran says it foils 'sabotage attack' on nuclear building 

State media said the attack occurred near Karaj, some 40 kilometers west of Tehran. Iran has experienced a series of suspected sabotage attacks targeting its nuclear program in recent months. 

Iran thwarted a planned "sabotage attack" on Wednesday on a building belonging to the country's nuclear energy agency, according to state television. 

There were no casualties or damage as it "foiled" the attack before it could cause "any damage to the building," the broadcaster reported. 

Nournews, a website believed to have close links to Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said: "On Wednesday morning, a sabotage operation against one of the [Atomic Energy Organization of Iran] buildings was foiled." 

"It did not cause any damage in financial or human terms." The case had been put "under investigation," the report said.
