Tehran: Iran blamed
Israel Wednesday for assassinating an Iranian nuclear official
earlier in the morning in a car bomb attack in Tehran, Xinhua
reported.
Media reports gave varying descriptions about the killed person.
Some identified Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan as a university professor
but the Fars news agency and local Press TV reported he was a
"nuclear scientist".
Iranian news agency IRNA later quoted Tehran's Sharif University
as saying that Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, was actually a staff of Iran's
Natanz nuclear enrichment site.
Iran's First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi said Israeli
agents were the perpetrators behind Wednesday's assassination.
"The enemies should know that they will not be able to stop Iran's
scientific progress by such terrorist acts," Rahimi was quoted as
saying by IRNA.
The victim was the deputy chief of the commercial section of
Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment site. He graduated from Tehran's
distinguished Sharif University in 2003, majoring in chemistry
engineering.
Wednesday's blast took place at a faculty of Iran's Allameh
Tabatai University near Gol Nabi Street. Two others were also
injured in the blast, which took place in the north of the
capital, BBC reported.
The attack followed a pattern that killed nuclear scientists in
the country in the past.
Last July, nuclear physicist Daryoush Rezaie was killed in an
attack in front of his Tehran house by assailants riding a
motorbike.
In November 2010, Majid Shahriari, a member of the nuclear
engineering faculty at Shahid Beheshti University, was killed in a
Tehran blast. The bomb was attached to his car.
In January 2010, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a physics professor, died
when a motorcycle fitted with explosives exploded near his car.
