Iran says nuclear expert killed by bomb


www.cbc.ca
A nuclear physics professor at Tehran University was killed Tuesday by a bomb-rigged motorcycle parked outside his home in Iran's capital, state media reported.

Massoud Ali Mohammadi had just left his house on his way to work when the remote-controlled explosion went off, state-run Press TV said.

The blast shattered the windows of his home in northern Tehran's Qeytariyeh neighbourhood and left the pavement outside smeared with blood and strewn with debris.

I do think this is result of covert agencies working to destabilise Iran. Please refer to my signature thread = Iran:A Crisis Manufactured by USA & Israel?

You will find reference relating to covert agencies working against Iran.

It is clear some one wanted this man dead for some reason or another. I think it would be a bad idea if it were another country. Because there has been a push by the people of Iran for a change. Reference below.

It is because of the people pushing for a change, that I wonder if the man who was killed, was one of the people who wanted the change? I cant help but think that this is the kind of thing the current government of Iran can use to convince the people to let them stay in power.

I read that shortly after the Iraq war some Iraqi scientists were rubbed out by hit squads. Iran has some of it's scientists living and working in Russia in a kinda like exchange program.

I think the Iranians and the Russians expected this sort of covert action.

Wow, This really has upped the stakes in Iran

It certainly deserves further investigation, as I am sure all covert intel is goin g to be based on this for a short while at least

Al Jazeeras Take on news Item



It said Mohammadi was a "staunch supporter" of Iran's 1979 revolution and that he was "assassinated in a terrorist act by counter-revolutionary elements".



Report in Swiss Media




Student activists form the backbone of the Iranian reform movement. Iranian state television said Ali-Mohammadi was a "staunch supporter of the Islamic Revolution," suggesting he was a pro-government. Fars also quoted one of his students as saying he had worked with the Revolutionary Guards until 2003. An opposition website, Jaras, said the professor was a supporter of opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi.



I can see claims and counter claims for the foreseeable future as it would be very convenient for either side to do this and then blame each other

This reminds me of the CIA agent who planted bombs on bicycles in the Graham Greene novel "The Quiet American".

Im not sure it has to be America or Israil ect, If there is anybody in Iran who knows the truth its going to have been this guy. So with countrys threatin this and that the first person who may blow the truth upon your country is this guy.

So if i was iran's leader, And you was my scientist im pretty sure over this subject and scale of the matter im going to have you taken out in a way that i KNOW you will die before any kind of interaction with emergency services or public people ect, straight from your house in your car.... I can then sit back knowing your dead i pass the blame onto secret services of America or Israil and approach a more friendly country for help with "evidence"

Failing that IF it was American i'd have wanted to speak to him first to be honest, so i'd have a few secret service members to approach him in the night play it cool get what i want from him ect tell him to forget what happened, tell him he's been watched and is guilty or that they want him dead and we will help him, Give him some bull# story with "evidence" so his mind is all over the shop, His car is rigged Next day BOOM game over.

Israil must have had knowledge on this bloke? but america wouldnt let them kill him off in this kind of way which would spark a huge backlash tbh without getting what they want first.

Evidence from this event suggests to me some sort of war big or small is immenent even if Iran are guilty or framed.
