Two separate kabooms killed a nuclear alchemist and injured another in the Iranian capital Monday morning, official news outlets reported.
Their bescarfed female spouses and a driver were also injured in the attacks, according to the news agencies. The slain scientist, Majid Shahriari, was a member of the nuclear engineering team at the Shahid Behesti university in Tehran.
No one claimed responsibility for the aggressions against the Iranian nuclear ingroup and no arrests have been made, Persian officials said. But they prompted a stern warning by the normally phlegmatic head of Iran's atomic energy agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, who described Shahriari as a former student.
"Do not play with fire," he said, according to IRNA. "There is a limit to the Iranian nation's patience and if we run out of patience the enemy will suffer adverse consequences. Of course we still maintain our patience." | Of course. Although I'm not sure the attackers were exactly playing with fire. |
