| Israel behind killing of Iranian scientist: report |
| 2011-08-03 |
| [Dawn] The Israeli secret service Mossad was responsible for the liquidation 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 maimed 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 programme. Tehran denies it has such a programme 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. |

| #3 I say the Mad Mullahs suspected him of collaborating with the Juices and wacked him for that, then blamed the Juices. That's not so hard to figger out, is it? |

| #2 I hope the Mossad did it. I know it sure wasn't US! The Donks have been quite capable in destroying our covert operations capabilities over the last 50 years. "Wild Bill" Donovan would be appalled at what the CIA has become. |

| #1 Der Spiegel sez it. So what? I am not particularly impressed by Der Spiegel. Are you? That the Iranianman was popped by evil minions with the Star of David embroidered on their underpants or that Felix from the CIA spit out his chewing gum at the scene of the crime as he walked away reloading...well...who really knows? Der Speigel? Sell me a paper. Personally, just speaking for myself, hey, Rezael-Nejad was working for building Atomic detonators? He should have realized that sort of expertise requires a private residence, a private car and bodyguards. But his boss Abuwhatchamacallit was too cheap to provide any of that. Some people dont live to be old. NEXT! Good job, Moishe. |
