<p>Iran&#8217;s intelligence chief has accused the UN nuclear watchdog agency of sending spies in the guise of inspectors to gather information about the country&#8217;s nuclear activities, state TV reported.</p>
<p>The claim was another sign that Iran has hardened its stance since the assassination a week ago of a prominent nuclear scientist and the wounding of another.</p>
<p>Iran is to hold talks in Geneva on Monday and Tuesday with world powers trying to persuade it to curtail key elements of its nuclear work.</p>
<p>Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi said staff sent by the International Atomic Energy Agency had engaged in espionage and the Vienna-based agency must take responsibility for their actions. He did not elaborate or identify the inspectors Iran was accusing.</p>
<p>Iran has increasingly complained in recent months about the leaking of information gathered by the agency&#8217;s inspectors to US officials and other allies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Among the individuals the IAEA sends as so-called inspectors, there are spies from intelligence services. The IAEA must be held responsible for this,&#8221; state TV quoted Mr Moslehi as saying.</p>
<p>Iran said Monday&#8217;s killing of nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari in a bomb attack and the wounding of another scientist in a separate attack in Tehran was part of a Western campaign to sabotage its nuclear programme.</p>
<p>According to Iran, that campaign has included the abduction of Iranian scientists, the sale of faulty equipment and the planting of a destructive computer worm known as Stuxnet, which briefly brought Iran&#8217;s uranium enrichment activity to a halt last month.</p>
<p>Iran&#8217;s chief suspect is arch enemy Israel, whose Mossad spy agency has a long history of assassinating foes far beyond the country&#8217;s borders.</p>
<p>Mr Moslehi again accused Israel&#8217;s Mossad, Britain&#8217;s MI6 and the CIA of being behind the attacks.</p>
