Spiegel Online: Mossad Behind Killing of Iranian Scientist
The Israeli secret service Mossad was responsible for the assassination last month of an Iranian scientist in Tehran, Germany's Spiegel Online news website reported.
The killing of Dariush Rezaei-Nejad was "the first serious action taken by the new Mossad chief Tamir Pardo," according to an unidentified Israeli intelligence source quoted by Spiegel Online.
Iranian press reports said Rezaei-Nejad was shot five times by unknown assailants as he and his wife were waiting for their child in front of a kindergarten in Tehran on July 23. His wife was wounded in the attack.
The Iranian government blamed the United States and Israel for the attack, the latest in a series targeting Iranian nuclear scientists who are suspected by the West to be working on a nuclear weapon program.
Tehran denies it has such a program and insists that its atomic activities are entirely peaceful.
Rezaei-Nejad is believed to have worked on the trigger mechanism for nuclear weapons, Spiegel Online said in its report first published on Monday.
When Dier Spiegel mentions something somehow favorable to hizbullah it becomes an indisputable fact..... wait and see how Nassrallah and Iran will milk this to to the last drop. However, when same magazine comes out with leaks accusing Hizbullah of murdering Harriri it becomes a zionist imperialistic
source. This is typical of the double standards this criminal party and its leader possess. A source is credible when it suits them and otherwise when it does not.
