Five Russian scientists who died in a plane crash on Tuesday had been helping Iran with nuclear secrets, it has been revealed.

They were among 45 killed when the plane's lights failed in heavy fog and careered into a motorway before bursting into flames - leading conspiracy theorists to believe it was a deliberate plot to kill the nuclear experts.

Russian security sources confirmed that the dead scientists worked at the controversial Bushehr nuclear plant on the Iranian Persian Gulf.

Putin relies on pigs to do his biddying, not chickens.

“when the plane’s lights failed in heavy fog”
What the heck? This was a plane not a car.

We’re going to find out, sooner or later, if Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.

It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy... sometimes stuff just happens that way. It would be fun to think that we really were that good, though.

I don’t weep for them. Their handiwork will one day lead to the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

Good riddance.

"Those Mossad guys are awesome."

I didn't think it was their style to take out 40 innocent people to get the five they actually wanted. I understand the stakes they're facing, but I thought the Mossad was a little more...uh...professional than this.

As a consequence, all Soviet-era airliners flying in Russia will be withdrawn from service. The accident rate of these deathtraps becoming unacceptable.

Was there any international investigation regarding their involvement helping Iran? Or the Stuxnet virus?
