Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the target of an "X-ray radiation plot" during his trip to Rome for the UN food summit earlier this month, the official IRNA news agency reported on Monday.

The news agency quoted Iran's ambassador to Italy, Abolfazl Zohrehvand, as saying that the plot was to use extreme radiation in the place where Ahmadinejad was due to stay.

They're claiming the x-ray machine where he was staying was rigged to give off a spike of radiation when he entered. Seems like an inefficient way to attack someone, but even if this is simply a case of malfunctioning equipment, it should give pause for thought next time you walk through an airport security scanner.

The Times Online has picked up this story, which seems to have broken elsewhere on July 1st:

"One day before Ahmadinejad's trip, I checked and found out that the X-ray machine set up in the place where he was staying gave off excessive radiation," Mr Zohrehvand said.

"First we suspected the machine was broken and after replacing it with another one it turned out that the radiation was controlled from another source.

"When the president entered this place, the radiation increased and exceeded '1,000' so that the intensity of the radiation was completely felt inside the building."

The diplomat did not say if the place where Ahmadinejad was staying was a hotel or official residence.

Lol... what kind of measurement is '1,000'? Does their 'x-ray meter' not go to '1,100'?

Anyway, wasn't there speculation of the Russians doing something like they're alleging to American diplomats years ago? Targeting the embassy with x-rays or something?

I don't see why they would want to use xrays to kill him.They could just putt a sniper across the road or put a cruise missile through his window.
Which raises the question when it comes to Iran and Immadinnerjacket and his trouble making.Why they don't just take him out that way.
But I guess Iran's nuclear program would not be halted if he was killed.Some other looney jihadist would just take it over.
