Iran Accuses Israel, US of Assassinating Nuclear Scientist
'Killing civilian scientists and civilian leaders is unquestionably terrorism'
Iran has accused Israel and the United States of being behind the Wednesday morning assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan.
Assassinated: Chemistry expert Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was killed after two men on motorcycles attached magnetic bombs to his car in Tehran, Wednesday, January 11, 2012. UPDATE: According to the Inter Press Service, Iran experts say the latest assassination is likely to scuttle the already slim chances for a negotiated solution and convince the Islamic Republic that the United States and its partners are determined to overthrow the Iranian government.
"The Iranians are convinced that that is our goal," Paul Pillar, a CIA veteran and former Middle East chief on the National Intelligence Council, which advises the U.S. president, told IPS.
Pillar referred to inflammatory rhetoric by U.S. Republican presidential candidates – one of whom, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, has explicitly called for regime change – while others apart from Texas Congressman Ron Paul have called for attacking Iran to prevent it from getting nuclear weapons.
Pillar suggested that U.S. government talking points were being influenced by domestic politics and that the Obama administration wanted to be seen as being "tough on Iran" during a year in which the president is running for re-election.
UPDATE: The US is "categorically" denying any role in today's assassination, according to ABC News:
In the face of Iranian accusations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the American government is not to blame for the bombing assassination today of a man the Iranian media called a top nuclear scientist.
"I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," Clinton told reporters today. "We believe that there has to be an understanding between Iran, its neighbors and the international community that finds a way forward for [Iran] to end its provocative behavior, end its search for nuclear weapons and rejoin the international community and be a productive member of it."
The Associated Press is reporting:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Two assailants on a motorcycle attached magnetic bombs to the car of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility, killing him and another person Wednesday, state TV reported. The slayings suggest a widening covert effort to set back Iran's atomic program.
The attack in Tehran bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program. It is certain to amplify authorities' claims of clandestine operations by Western powers and their allies to halt Iran's nuclear advances. [...]
Iran has claimed that Israel's Mossad, the CIA and Britain's spy agency are engaged in an underground "terrorism" campaign against nuclear-related targets, including at least three slayings since early 2010 and the release of a malicious computer virus known at Stuxnet in 2010 that Iran says disrupted controls of some centrifuges — a key component in nuclear fuel production. Both countries have denied the Iranian accusations.
Israeli officials have hinted about covert campaigns against Iran without directly admitting involvement.
On Tuesday, Israeli military chief Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz was quoted as telling a parliamentary panel that 2012 would be a "critical year" for Iran — in part because of "things that happen to it unnaturally."
Mostafa Ahmadi RoshanIran's FARS news agency described the explosion as a 'terrorist attack' targeting Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a 32-year old graduate of the prestigious Sharif University of Technology in Tehran. Deputy Tehran governor Safarali Baratlou was quoted as saying: "The bomb was a magnetic one and the same as the ones previously used for the assassination of the scientists, and the work of the Zionists . Zionists seem to be trying to create a security atmosphere in Iran on the threshold of (parliamentary) elections to decrease the people' turnout in the polls." A similar bomb attack on January 12, 2010, killed Tehran University professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi, a senior physics professor.
An early Wednesday morning article in Salon titled "More Murder of Iranian Scientists: Still Terrorism?", Glenn Greenwald writes:
Does anyone doubt that some combination of the two nations completely obsessed with Iran’s nuclear program — Israel and the U.S. — are responsible? (U.S. officials deny involvement while pointing the finger at Israel, whose officials will not comment but “smile” when asked; the CIA has “targeted” Iran’s scientists in the past, several of whom have disappeared only to end up in U.S. custody, including one who “resurfaced in the United States after defecting to the CIA in return for a large sum of money”). At the very least, there has been no denunciation from any Obama officials of whoever it might be carrying out such acts.[...]
And Kevin Drum, then of Washington Monthly, went the furthest of all — in a post he entitled “Terrorism” — branding the killing of Iran’s scientists as “Terrorism”:
...After all, killing civilian scientists and civilian leaders, even if you do it quietly, is unquestionably terrorism. That’s certainly what we’d consider it if Hezbollah fighters tried to kill cabinet undersecretaries and planted bombs at the homes of Los Alamos engineers.
If you think Iran is a mortal enemy that needs to be dealt with via military force, you can certainly make that case. But if you’re going to claim that terrorism is a barbaric tactic that has to be stamped out, you can hardly endorse its use by the United States just because it’s convenient in this particular case.

Show AllNeat work - the hood is not even damaged.
Faces - see the young man in uniform in the bottom picture.
On another thread (Naomi Klein...), I read a few comments which actually stated:
'what a person is doesn't matter...only what they say', and words to that effect.
I remember the initial movie about Al Jolson - he wanted the lights turned up in the theater so he could see the peoples faces.
Now, progressives ??, don't care what a person "is"
Not good -

"The BBC's Mohsen Asgari, in Tehran, says that the explosion was caused by a targeted, focussed device intended to to kill one or two people and small enough not to be heard from far away."

I just realized how calmly I take all this in - "business as usual"
Just what are we defending? What have we become?

"Neat work - the hood is not even damaged." Good point. I can't see a bit of damage in either photo. In the first photo the tarp is inside the glass yet no marks, blood, anything on the side window! The second photo is the crime scene but no debris of any kind on the ground or anywhere. And we're to believe this is the result of two magnetic bombs on the outside of the car which killed the driver inside? Also Hillary seems to have forgotten that the U.S. did help to violently overthrow Iran's democratically elected leader years ago, and that Panetta recently said Iran is not developing nukes, and that the U.S. government and CIA have a long history of lying about their dirty deeds. Somebody needs to fit Hillary for an orange jump suit.
They always do "neat work", Michael, they're professionals on the global VICHY EMPIRE 'team'.
I presume that the motorcycle used for this assassination was equipped with a very good muffler --- in order to continue the plot of Graham Greene's "The Quiet American".
American CIA "Secret Team" assassinations by C4 bombs has a history almost as long as that of the CIA itself (since 1947).
Perhaps with Francis Fukuyama's recanting, this will not be how it ends at "The End of History", but rather with his newest Foreign Affairs article, "The Future of History", we will begin to see violent foreign affairs like this assassination, and Obama's many drone assassinations, becoming unacceptable to an increasing number of countries (and world citizens) outside of this disguised and disgusting global 'Vichy Empire'.
Best luck and love to the "Occupy Empire" educational movement.

This is sick. We are the opposite of everything they taught us we were.
Indeed.
It takes a village to produce a village idiot.
The next VP candidate is either lost or pissed. Either is indicative of incompetence.
Well, just my luck, I'm really busy right now, but while the boss is not looking I think I'll add this comment while the issue is still fresh.
I'm really glad I'm not going to have Amerikkkan citizenship much longer. I'm getting more and more fed up with the continual illegal wars, the drone assassinations, the ongoing torture at Guantanamo and elsewhere at dozens of secret sites, the whole ball of wax..., and now this...
I feel sorry for all of you at CD who are not in a position to bail out of the Fourth Reich. At least now I have some sympathy for all of the "good Germans" who were not willing or able to get out of the Third Reich; it isn't as easy to fight tyranny as it might appear, especially for those of us who have a family and dependents to take care of. It just happens that since I never married or had children in the US it is easy for me to move about. My occupation as a translator (now chiefly from German to English, in the areas of banking and IT) also makes me pretty independent.
Maybe someone needs to form an organization to help get liberals and progressives out of the US before it is too late. If I had more money I would definitely like to start up a "US refugee fund", but I don't think I'm likely to become a billionaire any time soon.
A belated Happy New Year to all CDers, anyway:-)
Thanks for the good thoughts for those of us that for various reasons are stuck here in the failing 4th reich empire formally known USA.
I guess 10million illegal (undocumented) immigrants feel differently.
Here's some pointers for you:
Keep the US citizenship, you'll need it later. You won't be taxed on the first 90k of foreign income (apparently). Make sure you file your foreign bank acct holding forms with the IRS. Penalty for not doing so if pretty stiff. If you think the CIA is bad, wait until you have to deal with the IRS.
BTW, you spelled American wrong. There's no "k" in there. Must be all that German you were translating from :-)

"And no one is going to steal either of our countries without a fight."
Maybe you didn't get the note: That battle was lost ten years ago. The US and Canadian Middle Class surrendered with a frightened whimper at the Elite suggestion of Islamic 'terrist(tm)' bogeymen. Meanwhile, the Class War rages on.
You're right - I didn't get the note - and if I had - I'd have burned it, or sent it back with some nasty words of my own.

Great comment Galenwainwright...
What the hell do you mean-great comment?
Are you a professional loser?
Like to wallow a lot do we - BS
What a pile - friggin realists - I've had it up to the ears with reporters and insightful analysis - you just lost your country - it used to mean something - it actually did - can't believe this - there are bleeding hearts everywhere I look - where are the men??????????????????????????
===========
Really? Just what did it mean? Was it not afterall, just a facade? News Flash: The US is not what it purports to be and apparantly Canada is on the same path, FASCISM- face REALITY.
"Where are the men????????????" Not sure what your implication is here, but if you are "looking for men", try your local Gay bar.
"I guess 10million illegal (undocumented) immigrants feel differently."
That's a classic in the right-wing repertore. People in destitution in a nation bordering the US (the destitution being largely the work of the US), who are forced to cross the border in deseperation to find menial work, translates to "were are so great everyone in the world wants to live here."
Funny, but unless they are white-collar workers who draw the short straw to be sent here on business, I meet very few to no Eropeans, Canadians, Australians, NZers, Jpanese, Koreans....
And, when I visit Toronto, it is obvious that a far larger part of the world is picking Canada, not the US, to migrate. I hear Germany, France, the UK and Australia are smilar.
"I meet very few to no Eropeans, Canadians, Australians, NZers, Jpanese, Koreans"
You must not be hanging out with the right crowd. I know plenty Canadians that work here. Either on TN1, or married or on a green card. Problem is they have to kinda sever all ties to Canada, otherwise they pay taxes in both places. You can keep the Canadian citizenship but you'll have to sell all property and close all bank accts except for RRSPs.
It just looks like more are picking Canada, especially if you look at the GTA. immigration to Canada is based on a point system (speak English, French, got a degree etc) so a lot of people qualify. To immigrate to the US you actually need a job here and an employer to sponsor your visa.
Our best ally is Canada. We need to remember that. They are the same people that we are with good minds and healthy bodys..... And they are not nearly as fat as we are...remember that also. I often think to myself as I walk around in the states....what are we going to do. These people can't fight. They can't even get their fat asses into their cars. They can't walk half a mile without collapsing. What are we going to do with them when a million Chinese show up on the shores of California...feed them?
I have traveled the world and I would agree with the Canadian. I feel a lot safer when I visit Scotland and or Ireland or Australia.
But this argument is not about whether or not we are going to move to the US and or Canada. This is about the Isrealization of the US. We are following their tactics. With the head of Homeland Security, Chertoff, the son of a Rabbi, how could we not. With Abrams in the last administration, how could we not. This mindset is not what this country needs and or wants. We have got to take back the ground game.

Thanks for your advice, Chameleon, but let me fill you in on a few details: I am currently working for a Czech firm, and all of my income taxes are automatically deducted by the Czech government; I owe no taxes to the American IRS.
As for the matter of legal or illegal immigration to the US, the same type of comment could just as easily have been made with respect to Germany under Hitler or Italy under Mussolini. Both these fascist rulers were initially quite successful at restoring the economies of their respective countries, so it would not be surprising if a substantial number of foreign workers were working in German and Italy prior to the outbreak of WWII.
When it comes to illegal Mexican immigrants to the US, I once had one "mojadito" tell me that by working just one day picking fruit in AZ he could make as much money as he would normally make in an entire month working in Mexico. Now, most people would probably find a 3000% pay raise very difficult to refuse, and he was no exception.
You and I have more options, however. It wasn't just Jews who left Nazi Germany; there were also non-Jews who found the Nazi regime too repugnant to be willing to continue living there. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to leave the US, even for a short time, it's a matter for you and your conscience as to whether you want to continue having anything to do with a regime that assassinates, tortures, and so on.
I've reached the point where the "water in the pot" got too hot for me, and so I have bailed out, but primarily on moral grounds, not economic ones.
Peace!
You most likely don't owe the IRS anything but as long as you are a USC you'll have to file with the IRS and declare your "world income". It probably doesn't matter if you're gonna renounce your USC but if not, i would file taxes and especially form TD F 90-22.1 every year. Otherwise you might find yourself with no savings late in life.
Good luck...
OK, thanks for the input! I will check with the American Embassy here in Prague to see whether I still need to file something. For the last five years that I have been working for the firm for which I am currenty working, no one has bothered me about the issue. The firm for which I work hires a special agency to handle all the paperwork involved with my yearly visa renewal, but that is a separate matter. There is an extensive American expat community in Prague that provides all kinds of advice to Americans living overseas, and I can also ask my sister in the US, since she is a CPA. It certainly won't hurt to look into this.
Oh, by the way, Chameleon, I forgot to add that this incident really hits home. I have close relatives, in fact my first cousins, who live and work in Los Alamos as nuclear scientists! I hope that puts things in perspective.

I have to agree with you 100% We are not on the road to fascism we are there. They just haven't started the disappearances yet. I, like you, am fortunate in that I have no family to support and can live anywhere. I have been living in Mexico since 2005. I own 2 condos there. I am currently living in China teaching English. I plan to stay out of the U.S. until such time as the NDAA and the Patriot Act is repealed and America is a country that I recognize once more. When I do return to Mexico I will insist on a flight that does not have a stopover is in the U.S. Too paranoid? Anyone who does not realize that we are in the same place that Germany was in in the early 1930s is blind and or stupid. Good luck to all of those who are stuck there.
Thanks, China Teacher! I have also taught English in quite a few different countries. I should add, as a generate comment, that it helps a lot to make what I like to call a "froggy list". A froggy list is simply a personal list of what situations or factors would be sufficient to convince one to take a particular action, such as to leave one's country and to go elsewhere.
The term refers to the notion of a frog that is in a pot of water that is being slowly heated. Since frogs are cold-blooded, if the water temperature increases slowly enuf, the frog will supposedly not be aware of the fact that the water is getting hotter, since its own internal body temperature will also be rising, and so it will not be aware of the change in temperature until it is too late, after which point the frog is thuroly boiled!
By making a froggy list, however, and by putting a list of specific "warning signs" or "critical points" IN WRITING, if and when a line is actually crossed, and what you are hearing on the news does in fact correspond closely to a scenario you had envisioned previously, it will be much harder to psychologically placate or "BS" yourself by thinking, "oh, yes, that is something that I was afraid was going to happen sooner or later but...., now that it is actually happening it somehow just doesn't seem that bad!, and you will be in a better position to keep the promise that you made to yourself earlier.
To give another example that has been in the news recently, when it gets to the point where peaceful, nonviolent individuals are being "preemptively" arrested just on the claim that they "might" be there to protest the event, if you had listed that scenario in your "froggy list" as a crucial warning that your country has essentially become a police state, you will be in a much better position psychologically and emotionally to deal with that ssue, especially considering that d-e-n-i-a-l is an all too typically "normal" human reaction to bad news!
In my case, I feel that so many of these critical "Rubicons" have already been crossed in the US, that it really is high time to "bail out" if you possibly can!
Note: I understand that a good book to read in this regard is "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45", by Milton Mayer. People living in the former Weimar Republic in Germany went thru the same personal dilemmas as we Americans are going thru today.
(Personal disclosure: I happen to belong to an organization that promotes spelling reform, so you will see a few "non-traditional" spellings in this post from time to time).
It's not like Israel would murder another country's... Oh wait... Gerald Bull.
And the US has never... no, no... Dr. David Kelly's 'suicide'.
Never mind...
Galenwainwright@ 7:20am Don't forget about all of those killed on 9/11; or the Air Force crew unlucky enough to be chosen to carry a nuke from Minot to Mather AFB; or the Navy seals unlucky enough to be credited with the killing of Bin Laden (dead men tell no tales). This government has a well-established history of eliminating anyone who can help expose this criminally capitalistic empire.
From Wiki
"The 1953 Iranian coup d'état (known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup[3]) was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the intelligence agencies of the United Kingdom and the United States under the name TPAJAX Project.[4] The coup saw the transition of Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi from a constitutional monarch to an authoritarian one who relied heavily on United States support to hold on to power until his own overthrow in February 1979."
The end of Britain's part of the 'Great Game' and beginning of the USA involvement.
Aberfan,
You know your history. Isn't that amazing that the US speaks out of both sides of their mouth. Mosaddegh and the Iranians were very pro Democracy until the UK and US got involved. Then democracy flew out the window. Same thing in Chili, and other countries in the world. When I hear Hilary Clinton talk I listen to a different tune...she says as she walks into Egypt and Libya.."it is good to see democracy in this country". In essence she is really saying...."now, how can we gain control of this unruly mob to take it back to the status quo". She is Bibi's slave. They are great friends. So the billions that we paid Mubarak to keep the Israeli southern border in tact is in jeopardy. Now we are looking for the next Mubarak to send money to but I think the Egyptians got the picture now and they won't let that happen again...although I am seeing a dismal attempt to squash the NGO's that interfere with Hillary Clintons grand plan...which of course is part and parcel of Israel's plan.
Terrorism is terrorism regardless of who is dishing it out.
What exactly is the modern day definition of "terrosim", I am thinking it's as widely variable as that of "heroism" or "religious fundamentalism".

W's third term anyone! Actions do count for a lot more words. When we look at policies not rhetoric what is it about this president which in the least deserves any defense? As Bill Blum aptly points out this president stands for one thing-- being president.
Well that is not a trivial statement and I don't have an answer. My point is that assassinating people like this is wrong no matter who does it.
A 'terrorist' is anybody operating a Drone: A terrorist organisation is any country allowing/authorising the use of drones.
Definition of a coward: one who operates a drone. Definition of a 'terrorist': anybody authorising the use of a drone.
George Washington ?
The chicken hawks who are hellbent to provoke a war with Iran should volunteer their OWN children to fight it.
Even better, let the old bastards who never went to war, instead relying on "deferments," head out and personally lead the battle. Of course, with drones, they still won't be at risk of suffering from more than a papercut from filling out their BS reports on their "justified" attacks.
Too many rats in the big cage and King rat wants it all.
The provocations by the U.S. and Israel towards Iran are escalating, however most citizens of both countries don't view these actions as acts of terrorism. A quid pro quo response, Iranians targeting American CEO's and the servants of the MIC and Big Oil (politicians, hate radio hosts and other MSM lackeys), would result in the U.S. government raining down tens of thousands of explosives via bombers, missiles and artillery on the citizens of Iran. Ignoring the covert attacks will only ensure that they continue. Iran is between a rock and a hard place. The American people are also in a tough situation, unable to overthrow the plutocracy that claims to act on our behalf.
Such activities must be international crimes. Iran could take this case to the UN World Court - in the manner of Nicaragua against the US in the 1980s. Of course, US would simply ignore the World Court decision, as they did with the decision in favor of Nicaragua.
“As former CIA veteran Robert Baer explained in the documentary Vanguard: America’s Secret War With Iran, the U.S. has been at war with Iran through its terrorist proxies for years, notably the Kurdish militant nationalist group PJAK, which has been blamed for numerous attacks in Iran.
As the London Telegraph, ABC News and numerous other mainstream outlets reported back in 2007, the U.S. is also using the Al-Qaeda affiliated Sunni terrorist group Jundullah to carry out suicide bombings and other destabilization attacks in Iran, a policy crafted by the Bush administration which has been continued under Obama.” http://investmentwatchblog.com/the-u-s-is-already-attacking-iran-through-terrorist-proxies/#.Tw2YlfL7Rad
Re the Israel/US stuxnet virus attack: It is known that the virus spread to many other countries. It has been widely speculated that it may even have contributed to the systems failures at Fukushima.
Ram: Fine till the 3rd paragraph... shades of, "Pay no attention to that tsunami behind the curtain."
The Cooling systems failed before the Tsunami struck. This has been well documented.
STUXnet by design is meant to cause a failure in a Nulcear Power Plants Cooling systems. It was designed to kick in only when there a shutdown that caused the backup cooling systems to kick in . The Virus would then cause a failure in the backup cooling systems.
The sequence of events at Fukishima was this.
Earthquake causing power loss this triggering the backup cooling systems.
Cooling system failure. Meltdown begins/
Tsunami strikes.
Who else would it be?
No surprise there.
More criminal actions by the two greatest purveyors of state terrorism in the world today, Israel and the U.S.
"But if you’re going to claim that terrorism is a barbaric tactic that has to be stamped out, you can hardly endorse its use by the United States just because it’s convenient in this particular case."
That is the issue isn't it?
it surprises me to observe the vanity of individuals, palestinians or iranians, who parade themselves in vehicles known to israeli spies that netted in their assasinations. one would think that an individual case or two are sufficient to alert the others that they are being watched by israel for assasinations. if castro has the same mentality, would he be alive today?
Execution of this man! Is it really so odd to think that Western and or client state spy agencies could have been involved in this terrible act? What about attempts on Fidel Castro's life from Dwight D Eisenhower's presidency to that of Slck Willy by the CIA?
How many times have Western of client state spy agencies engaged in such activiities and is it not part of a historical pattern?
