Iranian nuclear scientist killed in bomb attack


AP

"Motorbike-riding bombers killed a leading Iranian nuclear scientist and wounded another by planting explosives on their cars as they drove to work today.

State TV swiftly blamed Israel for the attacks. At least two other Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed in recent years in what Iran has said is part of a covert attempt by the West to damage its controversial nuclear programme.

Head of the country's nuclear operation Ali Akbar Salehi, issued a stern warning as he rushed to hospital to see the surviving scientist, Fereidoun Abbasi.

"Don't play with fire. The patience of the Iranian nation has limits. If it runs out of patience, bad consequences will await enemies," he said.

Mr Salehi, one of Iran's vice presidents, was apparently referring to Israel and the US, which Iran alleges are trying to damage its nuclear programme...."

COMMENT:

It should be noted that literally hundreds of IRAQI scientists, college professors, doctors and other highly trained professionals have been slaughtered over the past few years. The vast majority of those who survived had to flee the country.

In addition to the MOSSAD, Iranian Intelligence agents have been suspected in these killings.

What goes around, comes around?
