Nuclear scientist killed by bomb in Iran
A car explosion kills a university lecturer and nuclear scientist in north Tehran.
A magnetic bomb was attached to the car and was big enough to kill to people but leave car in tact.
An academic working at the Natanz uranium facility, Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan was killed in a car explosion along with the driver.
Two other passengers were critically injured in the blast which resulted after a motorcyclist stuck a magnetic bomb to the car.
The explosion took place close to a faculty of Iran's Allameh Tabatai University near Gol Nabi Street in the north of the capital.
Two people on a motorbike had been seen by witnesses fix the bomb to the car.
Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, was not the first Iranian nuclear scientist to be assassinated by magnetic bombs with several others reported in recent years.
Iran blamed Israel and the US for all the attacks but both countries denied the allegations.
Despite the assassination, Iran's Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said that the latest assassination would not put a stop to the country's nuclear programme.
Rahimi said the killing was a product of terrorism supported by foreign governments.
