Iran Blames U.S. For Nuclear Scientist's Death

Iran blames the death of a nuclear scientist and injury of another on America and Israel, what Iranian president Mahmoud Ahamadinejad calls the “Zionist Jihad”. Motorcyclists attached magnet bombs to the bottom of the scientist’ cars in Tehran this (11/30/2010) morning killing one and injuring the other. Ahamadinejad says that the fallen nuclear scientist was working on a big nuclear project but declined to specify. He also says that the attacks will not hamper Iran’s nuclear program. A site called WikiLeaks quoted many Persian Gulf leaders like Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah as repeatedly urging Washington to cut off the head of the snake (Iran). Similar comments were attributed to the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, the king of Bahrain and other powerful leaders in the area. “We do not consider these documents to have any value. Iran and other countries in the region are friends and brothers. Such mischief will have no impact on the ties between nations”, said Ahamadinejad in response to the leaks.
