Iranian Nuclear Scientist Killed in Bomb Attack An Iranian scientist was killed in a bomb blast on Wednesday, suggesting that Western forces may be dismantling the country’s nuclear program from within. The 32-year-old professor who worked at a nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz died after a motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to his car while he was driving through Tehran. Mostafa Roshan is now the fourth person linked to Iran’s nuclear industry that has been murdered in a similar fashion in the last two years. In both January and November of 2010, another university professor and a nuclear scientist were killed by similar bombs stuck underneath their cars. (However, at least one Iranian observer suggested the targets could be opposition members killed by internal forces.) Iranian officials called the assassination the work of “Zionists” and while there is no proof that Israel or the United States is responsible for the attacks, it does appear that there is a systematic effort underway to disrupt the country’s nuclear ambitions from within the country.
