Iranian Scientist Dead in Car Bombing Attack

Wed Jan 11, 2012 10:24 am by Templar

TEHRAN, Iran — Two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to the car of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility, killing him and his driver Wednesday, reports said. The slayings suggest a widening covert effort to set back Iran's atomic program.

The attack in Tehran bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program. It is certain to amplify authorities' claims of clandestine operations by Western powers and their allies to halt Iran's nuclear advances.

The blast killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a chemistry expert and a director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran, state TV reported. State news agency IRNA said Roshan had "organizational links" to Iran's nuclear agency, which suggests a direct role in key aspects of the program.

Natanz is Iran's main enrichment site, but officials claimed earlier this week that they are expanding some operations to an underground site south of Tehran with more advanced equipment.

The gloves will be coming off soon, It seems America/Israel want war so bad they will openly provoke it now. This is madness. How is this not a terrorist act?

We didn't label what the CIA and KGB did during their clandestine wars "terrorist acts".

Because when we do it it's "strategic".

Similar to how we label these guys "Patriots".

But these guys "Insurgents"...

I don't like it either but when the other choice is "strategic bombing" with airplanes, I'll take this shit.

These aren't "choices," but two aspects of the same policy.

Just like mutually assured destruction is the other "aspect" of the Cold War policy, so far so good on that "aspect".

The US-backed terrorist group Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), in association with Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, was responsible for today’s car bomb attack in Tehran which killed Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, according to Israeli sources close to Jewish writer Richard Silverstein.

US denies role in Iranian scientist's death
By BRADLEY KLAPPER, Associated Press – 3 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration denied any role in Wednesday's killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist, the latest in a series of events that have exacerbated tensions with Iran.

"I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters. "We believe there has to be an understanding between Iran, its neighbors and the international community that finds a way forward for it to end its provocative behavior, end its search for nuclear weapons and rejoin the international community and be a productive member of it."

Earlier, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland wouldn't answer a question about whether Washington was involved in the killing — or if the administration viewed Roshan as an innocent victim. "I'm not going to speak to who may or may not have done this," she told reporters.

The attack also came one day after Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz was quoted as telling a parliamentary committee that 2012 would be critical for Iran — in part because of "things that happen to it unnaturally."

And other Israeli officials, hinted at covert campaigns against Iran without directly admitting involvement.

I love how she is all about Iran ending it's "provocative" behavior, while we finish up our un-provocative invasion of it's neighboring countries and try to get it's largest oil trading partners to enforce an embargo. Meanwhile an aircraft carrier drifts by Tehran while we ask politely for our spy drone back.

Fucking warped.
