QUOTE TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian physicist was shot dead by a motorcyclist in Tehran Saturday and Iran's student news agency ISNA quoted an unnamed police official as saying the man was a nuclear scientist.
ISNA named the scientist as Darioush Rezaie, 35, a university teacher who held a PhD in physics. It was not clear whether he was part of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. Enriched uranium can be used for civilian nuclear purposes, but also to build atomic bombs. "An Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated in front of his house today ... and his wife was also wounded," it said. "He was shot dead by a motorcyclist." |
