Head of Iran's Atomic Organization Blasts MI6 for His Assassination
TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) told a new conference in Vienna that British spies shadowed him around the world - even to the "back door" of his university office - to gather information ahead of a failed assassination attempt on him last year.
Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani also blamed Israel and the United States for attacks on him and other Iranian scientists.
"Six years ago the intelligence service of the UK began collecting information and data regarding my past, my family, the number of children," Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani told a news conference on the sidelines of the annual General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna
"The agents of MI6 of England in different and various places including the airport in France, in scientific places in Poland, Italy, Netherlands, Malaysia ... repeatedly following and looking for information regarding myself."
They had even "checked until the back door of my room in the university to see whether I have a bodyguard or not," Abbasi-Davani added through an interpreter.
In July, university lecturer Darioush Rezaie was shot dead by gunmen in eastern Tehran, the third murder of a scientist since 2009. One was killed in a car bomb, the second by a device detonated remotely.
One of the three was Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
Iran has said the attacks were the work of enemies that wished to deny it the right to develop civilian nuclear technology for generating electricity.
Himself slightly wounded in a 2010 car bomb blast, Abbasi-Davani said the attacks were carried out by Israel with the "support of the intelligence services of the United States and England." A nuclear scientist, he was named to his current post a few months later.
On August 28, a court in Tehran sentenced to death an Israeli Mossad agent who played a key role in the 2010 assassination of Dr. Ali Mohammadi.
The Mossad-affiliated terrorist, Majid Jamali Fashi, was sentenced to death for assassinating Iran's renowned nuclear scientist, Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, and for spying for Iran's arch-foe, Israel.
Majid Jamali Fashi had pleaded guilty to murdering Dr. Ali-Mohammadi in January 2010.
Ali-Mohammadi's family had asked for a death penalty for Jamali Fashi for his direct role in the assassination of the nuclear scientist.
After the first court session, Dolatabadi had announced that Jamali Fashi had been trained in Mossad's military bases.
" Majid Jamali Fashi had traveled to Israel several times and had received the necessary trainings for the assassination in Mossad's bases," Jafari Dolatabadi.
He also stated that Jamali Fashi had received $120,000 from the Zionist regime to carry out the assassination and then returned to Iran.
Majid Jamali Fashi 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.
Jamali Fashi 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.
