Iranian ‘nuclear scientist’ killed in Tehran bomb attack

“This morning a motorbiker attached a bomb to a Peugeot 405, which
exploded,” the deputy governor of Tehran province, Safar Ali Bratloo,
was quoted as saying by the ILNA news agency.

Witnesses told Reuters they had seen two people on the motorbike fix the bomb
to the car. As well as the person killed in the car, a pedestrian was also
killed. Another person in the car was gravely injured, they said.

Two daylight bomb attacks on the same day in Tehran in November 2010 killed
one nuclear scientist and wounded another.

Iran
then blamed Israeli, British and U.S. intelligence for the attacks, which it
said were aimed at assassinating key people working on Iran’s nuclear
programme.

Iran denies Western suspicions that its nuclear programme has military goals,
saying it is for purely peaceful purposes.

There was no immediate word from Israeli officials. Israel has always declined
to comment on previous such bombings in Iran.
