TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian state television said on Saturday Tehran had evidence Washington was behind the latest assassination of one of its nuclear scientists.

In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the door of 32-year-old Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan’s car during the Wednesday morning rush-hour in the capital. His driver was also killed.

The United States has denied involvement in the killing and condemned it. Israel has declined to comment.

“We have reliable documents and evidence that this terrorist act was planned, guided and supported by the CIA,” the Iranian foreign ministry said in a letter handed to the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, state TV reported.

1. It's very sad to me that I can't defend my country in this

As a matter of fact who does it benefit to stop the nuclear scientists and guess who is probably doing the killings. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together.

I think this is evidence of how some of our future wars will be fought. Assassinations.

4. It is how the "war on terror" is being fought now...

President Obama has turned assassinations an art form....

[spanone]

5. 'President Obama has turned assassinations an art form'.... link?

22. Yes, every night he retreats to the sub-sub-sub basement of the White House.

There, in the 'Danger Room', he trains his group of Mutant Assassins. Each an outcast of society. Each with amazing and uncanny abilities. Barack H. Obama creates holographic simulations of his own design to hone his team to a razor's edge.

They are loyal to him to a fault, and will kill anyone he orders them to. Part of this loyalty is inspired by his charisma, leadership, and vision for the future. But the real loyalty is brought out in this team of highly trained assassins because Obama brings them dougnuts and makes jokes about how they all stand for 'him'.

Cheney never used to bring doughnuts. Their loyalty is assured.

23. not sure about all that but he does seem to enjoy blowing people up he does not like....

[The Doctor.]

25. That's the same demonization the anti-choice people use

When they say that abortion providers 'love killing babies'.

Do you have examples of Obama 'enjoying' the deaths of anyone?


Seriously, let's have a quote, or a video of him toasting the death of someone 'he' 'blew up'.


And while your at it, could you explain where he received his training in explosives?

2. Yeah, I don't put much stock in Iranian claims.

That's just me.

Every time I hear a claim like that from the Iranians, I'm reminded of Baghdad Bob saying "There are NO US troops in Baghdad, and if they show their faces, we will anihilate them."

[Astrad]

11. And why don't you think of this?

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." – Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. Um, because this isn't about Rumsfeld and WMD's?

Try to stay on topic.

Are you saying you trust the Iranian claims because Rumsfeld lied? That's a strange way of looking at things.

[Astrad]

16. When I think of

outlandish farbrications that led to war I guess Rumsfeld trumps Bagdhad Bob for me.

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. Do you believe the Iranian claim that they possess documents PROVING

US involvement in the assassination of the scientist or not?

After all, it IS the topic of the thread.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Well on this Press TV might not be right

but like a stuck clock right twice a day, they are on a few other issues... I will leave it at that.

And yes, it is truly stuck clock.

Now MOSSAD... there is a reason why Israel is refusing to say a damn thing.

People really need to learn how to read between the lines... just from some intense background, we are quite possibly headed to a nasty regional war in the ME.

[Behind the Aegis]

20. Anyone at all familiar with Israel will know...

...Israel rarely, if ever, comes out and says "we did it/didn't do it."

Want to read between the lines? The Iranian government is trying to remove suspicion from itself.

[madrchsod]

3. i thought it was the israeli`s...

i guess they forgot the usa in their first news release

[lumpy]

6. Could be a joint venture between Israel and US ?

nt

[Mojorabbit]

7. I hope it is not true. nt

[tabatha]

8. Or was it Israelis posing as Americans as they have before.

[DURHAM D]

10. Not buying it...

We don't really need to do this (yet) so until someone shows me some evidence I don't believe it. Other countries have better reasons.

Also, with regard to the CIA involvement - it could very well be a false flag operation by one of the other countries with more acute interests. They have done it before - false flag operations that implicate the US that is.

12. Who would leave documentation behind. only minamal contact was made with car

that was blown to bits, no one was apprehended. Another Iranian lie

[MadHound]

14. It truly wouldn't surprise me,

Given the US and CIA track record.

[Zalatix]

18. Indeed, assassination of a scientist is not acceptable at all no matter who did it.

And I absolutely do NOT want Iran having nuclear weapons.

[treestar]

15. No way, it was Israel

The "evidence" is probably about at good as the "evidence" that the US created 911.

To Iran, the US is just the bogeyman.

[Behind the Aegis]

21. And your "evidence" it was Israel, is it any better than the Iranian "evidence" it was us?

[treestar]

24. Admittedly a guess

But then the "evidence" against US is non-existent, too.

There could be an Iranian who doesn't want to end up on the end of a US/Israel nuke war.

[WonderGrunion]

26. America doesn't use manned bombs.

If we had done it, we would have used a drone to take him out.
