Iranian Nuclear Scientist 'Assassinated'
Sunday, February 04, 2007

WASHINGTON — A prize-winning Iranian nuclear scientist has died in mysterious circumstances, according to Radio Farda, which is funded by the U.S. State Department and broadcasts to Iran.

An intelligence source suggested that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, had been assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli security service.

Hassanpour worked at a plant in Isfahan where uranium hexafluoride gas is produced. The gas is needed to enrich uranium in another plant at Natanz which has become the focus of concerns that Iran may be developing nuclear weapons.

According to Radio Farda, Iranian reports of Hassanpour’s death emerged on Jan. 21 after a delay of six days, giving the cause as “gas poisoning”. The Iranian reports did not say how or where Hassanpour was poisoned but his death was said to have been announced at a conference on nuclear safety.

IMO:
If Israel did this, i can certainly understand for obvious reasons, but it is much more likely he had a falling out with the radical leadership of Ahmenajad and was dealt with according to state "policy"

Its not the right thing to do no matter who did it.

I wonder what part that nuclear physicist even played. The science of enrichment is fully know. Its just a engineering problem. Going after the scientists wont do any good.

I'm sure the Mossad did it. Sadly it had little to do with the scientist, he was killed to send a message to Iran. Mossad does not fuk around.

They should go after those in charge, not those just serving their countries. Especialy when there isnt even any evidence that they are working on something sinister.

Logan if you got the time watch this

http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=32256&a=706013

Scroll down to "extra material" below del 1 and del 2 and push the link "Dr Jafar om det hemliga kärnvapenprogrammet i Irak". The interview is all english.

That is what happens when Israel tries to sort things out themself. They force countries into wanting to develop WMD's. How credible he is is up to you to decide offcourse.

The other dr jafar link below the first is also wort watching.

everyone loves to hate the winners.

Those who consistently lose love to hate those who consistently win........
I have been on the receiving end of such discrimination all of my life........

Which is why I dont think it was Israel, there is no point to it. More likely an internal matter.

**Kärnfysikern** · 02-05-2007, 03:08 PM

Perhaps.

btw singer if you got time take a look at the link I posted above. It is a interview with the former head of the iraqi nuclear weapons program and his take on things. Quite interesting.
