Iran's N. Chief Underlines Israel's Role in Assassination of Iran's N. Scientist

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoun Abbassi Davani took the Zionist regime responsible for the assassination of Iranian university professor and scientist Majid Shahriari in Tehran last year.
Abbassi Davani made the remarks in a press conference on the sidelines of the 55th IAEA General Conference on Monday, stressing that the Zionist Regime is behind such assassination.

"The Zionist regime conducts all its activities in the field through support of the US-UK intelligence services," he added.

"We condemn such ugly acts and will not at all retaliate. The scientific achievements should be respected because they do belong to whole the world. We do not consider them confined to a specific state."

The then university professor, Fereidoun Abbassi Davani, and his colleague Majid Shahriari were assassinated in separate terrorist bomb attacks here in Tehran with the latter killed immediately after the blast.

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

Iranian officials took the Zionist regime of Israel and US hirelings inside Iran responsible for the terrorist operation.
