An explosion on Wednesday killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a top official at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, Iranian officials said.
He is the third man identified as a nuclear scientist to be killed in Iran in a mysterious explosion in the past two years. A fourth survived an assassination attempt.
In each case, someone placed a bomb under the scientist's car.
Iranian officials, on state-run media, blame Israel and the United States.
"I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday.
"We believe there has to be an understanding between Iran, its neighbors and the international community that finds a way forward for it to end its provocative behavior, end its search for nuclear weapons and rejoin the international community and be a productive member of it," she said.
While Israel generally refuses to comment on accusations and speculation , Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said on his Facebook page Wednesday, "I have no idea who targeted the Iranian scientist but I certainly don't shed a tear."

If this is not some sort of internal, anti-regime action, then some foreign nation sure does have some effective agents inside Iran.
Yeah, when do we start hearing about iranian planes getting hijacked?

Obama couldn’t plan a breakfast, so you can count us out.
Everyone else supports Iran, has less sophistication, more to lose than gain, or lacks the stones.
G-d Bless Israel (and Mossad)!

I think using assassination as a policy tool fits in the Democratic way of thinking on national policy. They don’t like spending money on conventional forces, but spies and special forces have two benefits; they’re cheaper as a whole than conventional forces and there are fewer casualties. JFK thought this way.
Hillary says it aint us, and for once I believe her.
Our Country under the Kenyan Muslim Obama-boy hasn’t got that kind of courage.
Who cares as long as they keep killing them?
I agree with JFK. I much prefer killing key leaders to blowing up whole countries.
Of course they might retaliate and kill a few of our politicians. Win-win.
If we find a dead scientist in Ft Marcy Park, we’ll know who did it.
Hence the use of motor scooters instead of SUV's to carry out the attacks.
“”I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said “
Another, Clinton lie.
I can understand the first one getting killed with a bomb under the car. Maybe I can give the second one a pass. The third one to get caught with the same trap is an idiot!
I don’t care who’s doing it, just keep it up...toss a couple of Mullahs in just for spice.
