London, July 15 - Britain's claim that Iraq tried to obtain uranium from the African state of Niger has been challenged by a western diplomat close to the UN Atomic Energy Agency, the daily Mail reported Tuesday.

The British tabloid newspaper quoted the diplomat close to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna as saying that all intelligence on such a supposed deal was based on forged documents.

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, speaking on BBC radio, on Monday stood by Britain's claim, which was contained in a controversial 50-page government dossier on Saddam Hussein's pursuit of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons issued last September.

Straw added, however, that Britain was not at liberty to tell the United States where it got the information, because it had come from "foreign intelligence sources".
