Bomb attack kills Iranian scientist Iranian state television claims a bomb attack in the capital, Tehran, was an assassination which killed one of the country's leading nuclear scientists. The country has blamed Israel for the bombing, saying two men on a motorbike were seen attaching a device to Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan's car shortly before the attack. Television pictures showed the remains of the vehicle, which had been covered in a tarpaulin, surrounded by broken glass and blood stained patches on the ground. The attack on the 32-year-old echoes attacks two years ago, which also saw one nuclear scientist killed and another injured. Iran's atomic energy organisation said it would issue a statement shortly. Iran maintains it has only peaceful intentions for its nuclear problem, a policy many western nations argue is totally untrue.
