Masoud Ali Mohammad: Bomb Kills Iran Nuclear Physicist Tied To Mousavi AP (hat tip The Mad Jewess)

TEHRAN, Iran — A nuclear physics professor who publicly backed
Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi in the disputed June
presidential election was killed Tuesday when a bomb-rigged motorcycle
blew up outside his home.

The blast, apparently set off by a remote trigger, left a puzzling
mix of clues about why a 50-year-old researcher with no prominent
political voice, no published work with military relevance and no
declared links to Iran's nuclear program would be targeted.

State
media identified the victim as Masoud Ali Mohammadi, a professor at
Tehran University, which has been at the center of recent protests by
student opposition supporters. Before the election, pro-reform Web
sites published Ali Mohammadi's name among a list of 240 Tehran
University teachers who supported Mousavi.

Hard-line government supporters called at recent street rallies for
the execution of opposition leaders. But Ali Mohammadi was not a
well-known opposition figure in Iran.

The government blamed the rare assassination on an armed Iranian
opposition group that it said operated under the direction of Israel
and the U.S. Iran often accuses the two countries of meddling in its
affairs – both when it comes to postelection unrest and its nuclear
program.

"Since Ali Mohammadi was one of the scientists of physics and
nuclear energy, most probably intelligence services and elements of the
Mossad and CIA had a hand in his assassination," the Web site of state
television quoted Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabad as saying.
The accusation was echoed by the Foreign Ministry.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner denied the charge.

"Any charges of U.S. involvement are absurd," he said. A U.S.
intelligence official said the CIA played no role in the bombing death,
speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to
speak publicly on the matter.
