US Blogger: Israeli Mossad, Iranian Opposition behind Assassination
Is Israel behind the assassination of the nuclear scientist in Tehran? According to the American blogger Richard Silverstein, Israel’s Mossad and the Iranian opposition group ‘Mujehadin Khalq’ are the ones behind the explosion of the car of Mustafa Ahmadi- Roshan, who, according to Iranian reports, served as the deputy manager of the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility.
In the blog ‘Tikun Olam,’ Silverstein quotes an Israeli source with military and political experience, saying that the Mossad carried out the operation in cooperation with the Iranian opposition group. Silverstein publishes articles on Israeli matters, which are prohibited for publication in Israel. One such example was the article on the Anat Qam affair, written before its publication was permitted in Israel.
Meanwhile, Iranian government officials are also blaming Israel for the assassination of the top nuclear scientist. This is the fourth assassination of senior officials in Iran’s nuclear program in the past two years.
The press agency IRNA quoted the deputy of President Ahmadinejad during a government meeting in Tehran this morning, saying, ‘Those who claim they are fighting terror have hurt Iranian scientists, but they must know that our scientists are becoming more determined each day on the path to fulfilling Iran’s ambitions and its scientific progress.’
