BBC: An Iranian scientist believed to have links to the country's nuclear programme has been shot dead outside his home in Tehran, Iranian media say. Isna news agency named him as Daryoush Rezaei, 35, adding that his wife was wounded and rushed to hospital. In 2010, nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi was killed by a remote-controlled bomb in Tehran. Iran blamed that attack on Israeli secret service Mossad. Israel has long warned about Iran's nuclear programme. Some reports said the latest attack involved assailants on a motorcycle, who shot him in the neck in front of his house >>>

Assassination facilitating the blame game
by maghshoosh on Sun Jul 24, 2011 08:52 PM PDTThe economist Fariborz Raisdana has received a 1-year jail sentence for merely criticizing Ahmadinejad's subsidy cuts in a BBC interview. And here's Mokhtari, a pro-Ahmadinejad political commentator in Iran, directly mentioning to a foreign news agency the Leader's poor judgement in the Moslehi affair as a factor in facilitating this assassination that's blamed on foreign enemies. This may be an indication that the Ahmadinejad camp intends to use this incident to score points against the Principalists & the SL. And is Mokhtari gonna face repercussions for such an indiscretion?
