Iran Car Explosion Kills Nuclear Scientist in Tehran
January 11th, 2012Via: BBC:
A university lecturer and nuclear scientist has been killed in a car explosion in north Tehran, reports say.
Iranian media sources named the casualty as Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, an academic who also worked at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.
The blast happened after a motorcyclist stuck an apparent bomb to the car, said Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.
Several Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated in recent years, with Iran blaming Israel and the US.
Both countries deny the accusations.
Iran’s Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi told state television that the attack against Mr Ahmadi-Roshan would not stop “progress” in the country’s nuclear programme.
He called the killing “evidence of [foreign] government-sponsored terrorism”.
Local sources said Wednesday’s blast took place at a faculty of Iran’s Allameh Tabatai university.
Two others were reportedly also injured in the blast, which took place near Gol Nabi Street, in the north of the capital.
considering the us and israel do the equivalent to their own scientists, i feel the bigger issue is why this doesnt get wrapped up in the msm psyops thats been a constant these past months. prolly doesnt test well for the iran “problem”.
