"Israel teams with terrorists to kill Iran's scientists." NBC Rock Center 9.th February 2012

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel's secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran's leaders.

The group, the People's Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims' cars.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Obama administration is aware of the assassination campaign but has no direct involvement.

The Iranians have no doubt who is responsible -- Israel and the People's Mujahedin of Iran, known by various acronyms, including MEK, MKO and PMI.

"The relation is very intricate and close," said Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, speaking of the MEK and Israel. "They (Israelis) are paying ... the Mujahedin. Some of their (MEK) agents ... (are) providing Israel with information. And they recruit and also manage logistical support."

Moreover, he said, the Mossad, the Israeli secret service, is training MEK members in Israel on the use of motorcycles and small bombs. In one case, he said, Mossad agents built a replica of the home of an Iranian nuclear scientist so that the assassins could familiarize themselves with the layout prior to the attack.

Supremacy is the Key word hear my dear Friend! The biggest advantage for us is that the Muslims always Betray the Muslims! We have heard it for Centuries!

See the Case of that Hamas Pussy Murdered in Dubai by Mossad! It is believed that a Muslim Woman betrayed Al Mubhouh by leaking to us his wherabouts and Certain Information!

Israel is not a Terrorist Nation! Palestinian Pigs are the Terrorists!

This was killing an innocent man. For years we have known that the scientists working on the potential nuclear program are Russian not Iranian. They were contracted. This is confirmed by Russia, US even Israel. This wasn't even tactical terrorism by Israel, it was just violent revenge on innocent citizens. Israel has lost the moral high ground, how can they fight terrorism when they fund terrorist like this & PKK in Turkey? All they ever had was the claim of a moral supremacy, no that's gone.

In fact he was a paticle physicist and had nothing if anything to do with Irans nuclear program - such a program requires the talents of thousands of professionals from metallurgists, chemists, mechanical engineers to applied physicists and nuclear engineers - how did killing a world respected scientist with a high citation index slow Irans civilian program
