Bomb Kills Professor of Nuclear Physics in Tehran
January 12th, 2010Via: New York Times:
A bomb attached to a motorcycle killed an Iranian professor of nuclear physics outside his home in northern Tehran on Tuesday, the state-run Press TV broadcaster reported on its Web site.
State-run media blamed Iran’s western adversaries for the killing, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
The authorities called the killing of the scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, an assassination carried out by terrorists, but did not say who was believed to be responsible. The professor taught neutron physics at Tehran University, Press TV said, but it was not clear whether he was part of Iran’s contentious nuclear enrichment program.
