Who cares?

That is, as long as enough of them are offed to stymie development of a deliverable Iranian nuke.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he knows who's behind the recent drive-by bombings of the scientists. He sees "the hand of the Zionist regime and Western governments" -- by which he means Israel and the United States.

According to news reports, unidentified assailants riding motorcycles carried out two bombings in Tehran on Monday, attaching explosives to the scientists' cars and detonating them remotely.

Sounds a little too unsophisticated to be the Mossad. Then again, maybe they did it so unsophisticatedly to throw off the scent.

One of Forsyth's better ones. Read also The Afghan which features the same hero as The Fist of God.

Based on Wikileaks, it could have been Saudi or other Arab agents.

Leaked info shows that they want Iranian nukes stopped as much as anybody.

Also try Stephen Coonts' The Disciple for a very good hypothetical takedown of the Iranian regime.

After watching The Pacific recently, I've picked up a couple of Robert Leckie's books. Nonfiction detailing the Pacific War and excellent so far.

“Great Nuclear Scientists of Iran.”

Sounds almost like one of those old “shortest book in the world” jokes.

I don’t believe a word of it. These scientist were probably not cooperating with Ahmadinejad and were given the ax so to speak.

Looks like being a great nuclear scientists of Iran is equivalent to being #2 guy in Al Queda...

The story now is that Iran killed him because he was about to reveal nuclear secrets to the west.

Not really. It worked, didn’t it?

Thanks Scanian.
