Iranian Scientist: Weapon from which country was used for his assassination?

Tehran, 30th November: The weapon used in the killing of the prominent Iranian nuclear scientist was made in Israel.

According to reports, Iran’s English-language Press TV said on Monday that the weapon used in the killing of a prominent Iranian nuclear scientist last week was made in Israel.

“The weapon collected from the site of the terrorist act where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated bears the logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry,” an anonymous source told Press TV.

Speaking before the Press TV report, Israeli intelligence minister Eli Cohen told radio station 103 FM on Monday that he did not know who was responsible.

Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, revealed on state TV that Iran’s enemies had launched a number of failed operations against Fakhrizadeh in the past.

“This time, the enemy applied a completely new, professional and sophisticated method,” Shamkhani said, without elaborating.

Fakhrizadeh, the scientist behind the major nuclear weapons discovery in the country was killed on Friday when he was ambushed on a highway near Tehran and his car sprayed with bullets.

As per reports, his burial took place in a cemetery in northern Tehran on Monday, state TV reported, as the defence minister promised that the Islamic Republic would retaliate for his killing and would speed up the late scientist’s work with more power.
