MP Rejects Link between Assassinated Scientist, Iran's N. Program
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian lawmaker dismissed the reports that Iran's young scientist who was shot dead in Tehran last evening was working in the country's nuclear program.
Iran's young scientist, Daryoush Rezayeenejad, a brilliant post graduate student in the field of Power and Electronics, was gunned down Saturday afternoon in the country's capital city of Tehran by two unknown terrorists.
"Mr. Rezayeenejad was an Iranian elite who had no connection with Iran's nuclear projects," Head of the parliament's Human Rights Committee Zohreh Elahian told reporters on the sidelines of an open session of the parliament here in Tehran on Sunday.
Meantime, Elahian stressed that such terrorist acts cannot hinder the country's move towards progress.
"The enemies of the Islamic Revolution should know that they will not be able to stop the Iranian nations' great progresses," Elahian stated.
Rezayeenejad and his wife were on their way to their child's kindergarten when they were approached by two men on motorbikes. The gunmen called him by name and shot Rezayeenejad, 35, in the neck when he turned around.
The gunmen chased Rezayeenejad's wife who attempted to find help for her husband. She is currently in hospital.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Initially, local Iranian media had reported that Daryoush Rezayeenejad was a nuclear physicist.
On November 29, 2010, two other Iranian academics became the target of terrorist attacks.
Unidentified terrorists detonated bombs in the vehicles of Dr. Majid Shahriari and Professor Fereydoun Abbasi in separate locations in Tehran. Shahriari was killed immediately but Abbasi and his wife sustained injuries.
On December 2, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced that Mossad, CIA and MI6 spy agencies played a role in those attacks.
