Iran nabs 20 involved in nuclear scientists' assassinations

2012-06-18

[Iran Press TV] Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi says at least 20 people, involved in the liquidation of Iranian nuclear scientists, have been identified and cooled for a few years. Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! Moslehi told news hounds on Sunday that the arrests were made following the identification of two terrorist groups and through multiple sting operations across the country, IRNA reported. He added that more information about the places where the suspects had been tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! , will be released in the future. On June 14, Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced the capture of the main elements behind the murder of Iranian nuclear experts. "The key perpetrators of the liquidations of Majid Shahriari, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan (two of the slain nuclear scientists), and Reza Qashqaei (the driver) were identified and, in a series of swift and authoritative operations, were cooled for a few years Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! and transferred to detention facilities," the ministry announced in a statement on the same day. The statement made mention of Iran's extensive intelligence operations following the liquidation of the first Iranian nuclear scientist in 2010 and pointed out that investigations had led to the identification of a number of Israeli intelligence officers and their mercenaries. Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was targeted on January 11 when an unknown motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to his car near a college building in Tehran. He was immediately killed and his driver, who had sustained injuries, died a few hours later in hospital. The deadly incident happened after some US presidential hopefuls in November 2011 openly called for conducting covert operations against Iran to stop its nuclear energy program. The measures they advised included the liquidation of Iranian nuclear scientists and carrying out acts of sabotage against the country's nuclear facilities. Dariush Rezaeinejad and Professor Masoud Ali-Mohammadi, another Iranian nuclear scientist, are also among the victims of acts of terror. On July 23, 2011, unidentified gunnies killed Rezaeinejad outside his house in Tehran. Terrorist attacks targeted Shahriari and Fereydoun Abbasi, the current director of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, on November 29, 2010. Shahriari was killed immediately, but Abbasi sustained injuries. Iran condemns Washington and Tel Aviv for the strings of deadly attacks mounted against its nuclear experts.

Evil Zionist spies finding refuge in Azerbaijan?

2012-04-16

Iran has accused Azerbaijan of sheltering several Mossad agents who had escaped from Iran after assassinating an Iranian nuclear scientist. Iranian officials had earlier warned Azerbaijan not to shelter the Zionist regime's terrorist agents whose mission is carrying out acts of sabotage and espionage against Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Azeri Ambassador to Tehran Javanshir Akhundov to protest at Baku for sheltering several Mossad-trained terrorists who had assassinated the Iranian scientists. In January and in the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the car of 32-year-old Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan in the capital, Tehran. His driver was also killed in the terrorist attack. Moral of the story: don't be a driver for an Iranian nuclear scientist... The blast took place on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010. Boy howdy, those Ruritanians have been a busy bunch... The assassination method used in the January bombing was similar to the 2010 terrorist bomb attacks against the then university professor, Fereidoun Abbassi Davani - who is now the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization - and his colleague Majid Shahriari. While Abbasi Davani survived the attack, Shahriari was martyred. As the famous American philosopher Wednesday Addams once said: "wait"... Another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was also assassinated through the same method on 23 July 2011. Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi underscored that the US, Israeli and British spy agencies were involved in the terrorist attacks against the Iranian scientists. Easy to blame the Zionists, the Americans and Limeys for this, but it could just as easily be factions within the Mad Mullahs™. I think they all need to be interrogated. Do a mole hunt... The London Times reported in February that Israel is using Azerbaijan, a small Eurasian country which shares a border with Iran, as a base to spy on the Tehran government. The newspaper cited the testimony of an anonymous Mossad agent referred to only as Shimon. "This is ground zero for intelligence work," Shimon told the Times. "Our presence here is quiet, but substantial. We have increased our presence in the past year, and it gets us very close to Iran. This (Azerbaijan) is a wonderfully porous country." That's a great quote: so good someone at FARS likely wrote it... According to Shimon the Azerbaijan-Iran border, just a few hours south of the capital Baku, is prime territory for the Israeli intelligence service to gather information on Tehran's activities. "There is a great deal of information there from people who regularly and freely travel across the borders. It is unregulated - almost," said Shimon. Azerbaijan is a major energy producer and exports oil to Israel and imports weapons and military hardware in return from Israel.

Iranian Scientist 'Sought Israel's Annihilation,' Says Widow

2012-02-24

Semi-official Iranian news agency interviews widow of Mostafa Roshan -- leaving no doubt as to nuclear program's goal. The wife of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was assassinated in Tehran in January, said Tuesday that her husband "sought the annihilation of the Zionist regime wholeheartedly," according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency. "Mostafa's ultimate goal was the annihilation of Israel," the agency quoted Fatemeh Bolouri Kashani as saying Tuesday. Bolouri Kashani also underlined that her spouse "loved any resistance figure in his life who was willing to fight the Zionist regime and supported the rights of the oppressed Paleostinian nation." The report belies attempts by Iran to claim that its nuclear program is not military in nature. Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan is described as "a chemistry professor and a deputy director of commerce at Natanz uranium enrichment facility." Fars says he was killed by Mossad agents, who used a method of attack similar to that used against Iranian nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi in January 2010, as well as scientists Fereidoun Abbassi Davani and Majid Shahriari. Abbasi Davani survived the attack, but Shahriari died. Yet another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was assassinated by the same method in July of 2011.  And then there's this, from the Washington Post: Formerly secret telexes offer window into Iran's nuclear deceit
