Iranian of the Day

What are you Smoking ???- I.R.I Be Damned !!!!!

To people who are defending I.R.I. ~~ do u honestly think that the regime has 0.00 interest in atleast trying skew this murder to " the enemy " so the people can hopefully buy into the propaganda that the election fallout and green movement was Mossad/CIA all along ???  like u think the regime has nothing to gain from this murder and can't use this as propaganda whatsoever ????   if u think this murder was a huge blow to the i.r.i. nuclear program and they had nothing to gain from his murder then you are smoking some good stuff. The government is so dysfunctional and unorganized they don't even the kill the right scientist !!!! They killed a scientist whose field of research was abstract theoretics; something akin to Quantum physics !!!!! Why the hell would Mossad or CIA take out this guy whose expertise is largely useless for nuclear energy??  Stupid Mullahs !!!! They screwed up rigging the election and and they murdered the wrong scientist !!!! i mean idiot if your going to murder a scientist for your smoke screen propaganda that Israel/U.S. is behind everything atleast kill someone whose field of research is in nuclear energy !!!! or someone who was working at the nuclear plants !!!!!!  or someone who hated Mousavi and didn't vote for him!!!! I feel sorry for this poor man's family and more over i feel sorry for the iranian people Inside Iran who don't have access to google.com or other news outlets to research the truth. all they have is kayhan state fed propaganda as their point of reference and this may lead many minds to doubt recent events and believe " Wow. maaaaaybe it was C.I.A. and Mossad allll along !!! "    

Wasn't there another

Wasn't there another nuclear scientists that was kidnapped in Saudi Arabia??

this was NOT a regime job

I know there are people who are blinded by hate who are saying this as mindless knee jerk reaction, and they will of course turn around and accuse me or anyone doing a rational analysis.

The IRI does not have any interest in killing this person. The IRI has the capacity to but not the strategic desire for such a stupid move. The regime can take out anyone, Mousavi, Khatami, you name it. It would be stupid to do so. The most important reason is that it shows weakness on part of the Government.

If the IRI wanted him stopped, all they had to do was put him in solitary in Evin with all the other high ranking people there. Even if they had to kill him for some reason, they would have disappeared him.

This theory is nonsense parroted by truely delusional minds.

Israel/US and MEK on the ther hand have a very good strategic reason to do such an operation. They have already said so publically. The fact that he was a nobody in Iran' nuclear program is not important. If they could, they would get real key scientists, but this is almost the same thing. Just read the publicity surrounding the event, that's the real goal.

Their (retarded) goal is to show the hardliners they can get to anyone so you better give up the nukes on the negotiation table.

It is a symbolic target just like the symbolic targets Israel takes out on weekly basis: to create fear, to show that it is "futile" to resist and to show they are willing to do anything. They are also hoping that this embarrasses the regime and invites the retaliation they have been hoping for.

For this to work, the guy has to be referred to as a nuclear scientist in the media. Whether or not, he really is one is irrelevent.

There were particle physicists on the Manhattan Project

As Zereshk pointed out, Alimohammadi's public publications listed at //physics.ut.ac.ir/~alimohmd/publics.htm are all in theoretical particle physics and not relevant to nuclear physics, per se.  As far as I know, currently in Western countries theoretical particle physicists aren't involved in nuclear projects.  However, recall that during WWII theoretical particle physicists like Richard Feynman and Eugene Wigner were involved in the Manhattan Project (on the American side), and Werner Heisenberg was involved in the Nazi atomic bomb effort.  What I'm saying is that with particle physics being a theoretically & mathematically more advanced and fundamental field than nuclear physics, it's possible for a particle physicist to familiarize himself with and contribute to nuclear physics.  If Alimohammadi had done that, for which I have no evidence, for security reasons he may not have been allowed to make public any of his nuclear physics publications.

Also, since MM asked, he doesn't seem to be on the list of the 88 dissident professors:  //advarnews.biz/university/10203.aspx

Interesting, benross

So this statement today by the MKO isn't accurate, as the MKO at least had a hand in making the Iranian scientist a possible target of assassination. How does the MKO know for a fact that it was not this 2004 report (fact or fiction) that got Mohammadi killed?

Random Terror

This is a random terror by IRI. The idea is to find someone who is against the government, and who can become an example for others who oppose the government. They know that they can blame the CIA, Mosad, etc. This will, they hope, scare the others.

Remember Forghan?

Is this another come back?

I was about 7 when the country began fearing a  mysterious terrorist group called, Forghan. Luckily they were short-lived but killed many.

Supposedly, they were responsible for the assisinations of most of the moderate clerics and the intellectuals giving rise to the hardlines in the early 80s. In the years that followed, we learned that was just a vicious strategy to clean up the system of all or any political diversities, induce social and political fear, terrorize the intellectuals, and give way for the hardliners.

Khamenei supposedly survived the attack!?

Marhoom Kharmagas: That was

Marhoom Kharmagas: That was not my comment. Sorry, That was one of the comments written on the enduring America's site.

My first instincts was Mossad. But why would Mossad kill a non-nuclear physicist. They are smarter than that to waste their time and resources and kill someone who was useless and was not directly involved.

In the same blog, this 2004 document was posted

It smells like IRI had a hand in his murder...

 BBC:

خبرگزاری های حامی دولت ایران و واحد مرکزی خبر (متعلق به سازمان صدا و سیما) آقای علی محمدی را "دانشمند فیزیک هسته ای" و "استاد متعهد و انقلابی" معرفی کرده و قتل او را نتیجه "اقدام تروریستی عناصر ضد انقلاب و استکبار" دانسته اند.

این در حالی است که امضای او در پای نامه حمایت گروهی از استادان دانشگاه از نامزدی میرحسین موسوی دیده می شود و برخی دانشجویان او در وبلاگ ها و شبکه های اجتماعی نوشته اند که او سرسختانه از جنبش اعتراضی ایران موسوم به "جنبش سبز" حمایت می کرد.

ترور يک استاد دانشگاه در هاله ای از ابهام
صبح امروز بر اثر انفجار بمبی در قيطريه تهران مسعود علی محمدی، استاد دانشگاه تهران کشته و دو تن از شهروندان مجروح شدند. با ترور اين استاد فيزيک، اخبار و شايعات مختلف و متناقضی چه در سايت های موافق دولت و چه مخالفين آن منتشر شده است. از سويی رسانه های وابسته به دولت سعی دارند مسعود علی محمدی را از حامیان دولت محمود احمدی نژاد معرفی کنند، و از سوی ديگر حاميان جنبش سبز او را از جمله طرفداران ميرحسين موسوی معرفی کرده اند. اما در حالی که امروز صبح طی اطلاعيه ای با امضای "تکاوران تندر - انجمن پادشاهی ايران" مسئوليت اين ترور به عهده گرفته شد؛ پس از چند ساعت اطلاعيه ديگری از "انجمن پادشاهی ايران" و در سايتی ديگر اين خبر را تکذيب و مسئوليت ترور اين استاد دانشگاه را سازمان اطلاعات دانست و آن را "شبيه سازی" و "توطئه جديد سازمان اطلاعات جمهوری اسلامی عليه تندر و انجمن پادشاهی ايران" خواند. خبرها را در بخش از ميان اخبار دنبال کنيد.

IRR at work

Yes, most likely targeted by the IRR because he was supporting the student. Now they blamse"Israel". The Israel dog don't hunt no more!

Why would Israel want to assassinate a particle physicist? The difference between Nuclear and Particle physics is huge. The former is mostly an engineering discipline while the latter is pure science. Add to it the fact that he was a Theoretical Physicist which means he did not specialize in building of bombs.

The IRR idiots think everyone is as stupid as they are. We are not going to fall for Cinema Rex again. The only ones believing the IRR line are Jaleho and the IMF crowd. But then they were already on board with IRR so nothing new.

.........

Wait till next week IRIB will come up with detail sketch (just like Neda) to prove the guy was dead way before and he was brought to the scene of car bomb to prove IRR involvment........

But was he a reall nukelar! scientist ?        Maziar

He was most possibly anti regime

    Most possibly , he was an active participant in the anti regime protests.

not a nuclear scientist, then a signatory to the 88 prof lettter

If he was not a nuclear scientist and not associated with the nuclear program in any ways, then he may have been one of the 88 Iranian professors who sent a letter to Khamenei on Jan 4th, 2010 (Iranian Professors Urge Ayatollah Khamenei to Halt Government Violence).  Then he was probably assassinated by IRI tugs as a lesson to all others who dare.

If not a signatory to the letter, then he must have POed someone???

Or, just a senseless act of terrorism.  We may never know.

stupid Slumic Rapists Gavs

Next time at least kill one of Ur inner circles thugs like Ahmaghneges or Janati, so the story would be more believable. Khoda be dade een mardome badbakht bereseh, Slumic Rapist thugs starting their killing spree just like 1980 serial killing of itellectuals.

Where is Sherlock when you need him?

Vildemose,

What makes you believe they haven't done so? The footage you see are most likely after they allowed reporters to the scene.  They won't even move the body before collecting evidence. Its a pretty weak arguement you are suggesting here. Besides, if this was a IED, it makes it virtually impossible to trace since you can make an IED from household items and cleaning detergents sufficient enough to eliminate a person.

A well trained spy can make an IED easily without the need of carrying any firearms. Read my previous post to find out who is behind this.

mofattesh Vildee, you are late!

Inspector Vildee joon, what are you doing here? You should have been in the scene sometime ago. Hurry up and take some of your Israeli, pro Israeli friends/experts with you to confirm that:

He WAS NOT a "nuclear scientist"

I dont know why everyone is jumping on this: The man WAS NOT a "nuclear scientist". His expertise was in "particle physics", which is very different. He used to teach us "Analytical Mechanics" when I was a student at UT in the late 90s. The man's research had NOTHING to do with the nuclear technology or energy or weapons program. It was strictly abstract theoretical physics. I emailed Alan Cowell of the NYTimes this morning about this. The man never even had a publication outside of his field (especially in the "nuclear sciences"). Dont believe me? Look at his own website:

//physics.ut.ac.ir/~alimohmd/

video of incident scene, moments after the explosion

Most likely killed by Israeli paid informant

no doubt about it.  use current chaos to liquidate enemy forces and assets.

Clearly many are really stupid enough to think IRI did it.  no way.

Anyway, your comments are sickening me, I will go back to my

comforting sites: RAJANEWS and ASRIRAN

If this is a crime scene,

If this is a crime scene, why are all the street cleaners allowed to so blatantly tamper with the evidence? I guess the Iranian state police has no interest in finding the criminals who did this because they already know that the blood is on their hands. They did this to silence a Moussavi supporter who had no connection with Iran’s efforts to build nuclear bombs.

Wow.. Reading these posts = New Muppet show episode

Illogical , immature, paranoid, out of touch, unrealistic, unresonable riff raff , mumbo jumbo CRAP is whats posted here.

Iranian Nuclear scientists, or those even remotely related to this project, have been kidnapped and assassinated before. Who has publicly stated that they will do this? Who will benefit from this?

The timing of this assassination is also points to foreign entity intereferences ( possibly mosad ) which benefits from an unstable political climate in Iran. If this assassination results in stronger sentences for  the rioters currently on trial, this could mean more backlashes from GM supporters.

Who started this notion that he was a Mousavi supporter? This really adds flavour to the whole issue for mosad, doesn't it? It is mosad that benefits tremendously ( from multiple angles ) from this assassination.

The posters on IC, never even think that GM supporters could have done this, because to them, GM supporters are simply " the good guys" and good guys don't do "bad" things. Awww...   I tend to agrre here on this issue as well.

It could not be the current administration either, since the administration doesn't have the stomach for more turmoil in the country and the judiciary is not afraid to hand tough sentences for the rioters without needing a stage assassination of one of its most gifted scientists.

 Wake up. We have been burnt by Mosad. But as always, for every action there is a reaction and IR has always retaliated against Mosad and israel.

I don't think so

I hate IRI, but I don't think they have killed this guy, it just doesn't make sense . Hopefully within a year or two when these thugs R gone we would know the truth.

Business as usual!

People like Jello thinks people are stupid! This is very obvious who did it, The regime did it, Why? Simply because the guy knew too much about their works. This is nothing new, they did it back in 80' when the eliminated Ghobzadeh who helped to bring that fitly akhound called Khomeini to Iran. They labeled Ghodbzadeh and later was proved to be fake allegation. There are more.

Islamic regime is responsible. Only them.

Death to rahbare jakesh.

پاینده باد ایران

Obama.... SEND IN THE SEALS

NOW!!!!

Free IRAN NOW!!!

I get it!

So, they are peeing away the petro and the natural gas resources in order to develop nuclear energy technology and cater pole Bangladesh to the forefront of civilization. Hmmm, darn those Israelis for being on to them. 

this was a warning

this was a warning by mosad and cia.  they're sending a message to iri that if they can assassinate a physics professor that had not nothing to do with iran's nuclear program, then god knows what they can do tomorrow.  either that or warning by the iri government to professors who dare stand against the government.  either way, it was a warning.  one thing is clear, the pro iri commenters who like to use israel and zionism in any political discussion on this site have come out in droves to maximize the publicity of this incident.

100% Israel-Bahai-U.S. job; JalehO is right

I concur with JalehO and marhume-kharmagas and YMJ (aka shahgholam).

This is 100% done by the Israel-Bahai-U.S. Triad.

This guy was killed so that IRI could not pursue its nuclear goals of making the first micro FUSION reactor, a technology that is 25-30 years ahead of any other nation on face of the earth.

IRI is planning to sell the technology developed by the now deceased professor to all Muslim nations of the world so that once and for all, technology based imperialism of the West could never cast its cloud over any Muslim nation again.
