Iran Preparing to Try Terrorist behind N. Scientist's Assassination

TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehran's Public and Revolutionary Courts Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi announced on Sunday that the terrorist behind the last year assassination of Iran's nuclear scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi will be put on trial on Tuesday.
"The criminal will be tried on Tuesday," Jafari Dolatabadi said in a press conference here in Tehran today.

Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, was assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.

Iran's Intelligence Ministry in a statement in January confirmed the capture of the terrorists who assassinated Ali Mohammadi last year, revealing that the terrorist cell was an affiliate of the Israeli Mossad agency. The main element behind the assassination of Iran's nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi acknowledged that he and the other terrorists had been trained in an Israeli garrison near Tel Aviv.

Majid Jamalifash, the hit man of the terrorist group which assassinated Ali Mohammadi, said in his confessions aired by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on January 11, "I became acquainted with a number of Israeli officers on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway after we had a visit to Israel and I received different training courses, including chasing, running, counter-chasing and techniques for planting bombs in a car."

The terrorist added that he had also been trained in that Israeli garrison how to carry out bomb attacks while riding a motorcycle.

Jamalifash also said that he had received psychological and operational briefings for assassinating Dr. Ali Mohammadi and had exercised the bombing plot for killing the Iranian scientist several times at the Israeli garrison.

He also mentioned during his confessions that small models of Dr. Mohammadi's house and his house surroundings were used during his training course.
