Iran says nuclear scientist assassinated Zionist style

The Iranian president says a familiar assassination method practiced by Israel was seen in the recent assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist.

Addressing a gathering in the southern province of Khuzestan on Thursday, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the enemy is trying to obstruct Iran’s path to scientific success.

Iranian nuclear physics scientist Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi was killed in a remote-controlled bomb attack in the Iranian capital on Tuesday.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry had earlier said that Iran had found traces of US and Israeli involvement in the assassination of Ali-Mohammadi.

“The style of bombing and assassination of the martyred Dr. Ali-Mohammadi was a Zionist one,” said the Iranian president.

The president added that the enemy knows that a developed Iran would culturally and not militarily conquer the world.

“They [the enemies] want to make sure that Iran does not advance,” President Ahmadinejad said.

“The enemy cannot remove the knowledge from the Iranian nation by killing its elite,” the president added.
