The leaders of France, Britain and the United States are warning Iran that it'll be "held accountable" unless it comes clean about its nuclear ambitions.

The statements at the G-20 economic summit in Pittsburgh came after the disclosure that Iran had kept a secret nuclear facility hidden from weapons inspectors.

The leaders of the G-8 nations are staying in the historic mountain town of L'Aquila, which was devastated by a major earthquake three months ago.

President Obama and his host, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, toured the town on the first day of the economic summit.
