Mostafa with his son, Alireza
A car explosion in Iran yesterday killed a nuclear scientist and his driver. Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, who worked at the Natanz Uraniam Enrichment Facility, died due to a magnetic bomb that was placed in his car by a motorcyclist. This issue has happened several times during the past two years with Iranian scientists, and they were all assassinated in the same manner as Mostafa. Iran has blamed this attack on Israel and the US, which both deny. Iran's Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi calls it an act of "foreign government-funded terrorism". Its nuclear energy is being used for peaceful energy, however some nations suspect the intention of building weapons.
These assassinations are not senseless; they are planned, and have a specific cause behind them. Whoever is behind these attacks has something against Iranian scientists or the nuclear activity in Iran. Regardless of the purpose behind this assassination, this case and all the previous cases should be investigated further and the murderer should be found before more scientists are killed in an attempt to sabotage Iran's nuclear endeavours.
