The head of Iran’s cyber warfare program has been shot dead, triggering further accusations that outside powers are carrying out targeted assassinations of key figures in the country’s security apparatus, reports the Telegraph.

Mojtaba Ahmadi, who served as commander of Iran’s Cyber War Headquarters, was found dead in a wooded area near the town of Karaj, northwest of the capital Tehran.

Five Iranian nuclear scientists and the head of the country’s ballistic missile program have been killed since 2007. The regime has accused Israel’s external intelligence agency, the Mossad, of carrying out these assassinations.

Ahmadi was last seen leaving his home for work on Saturday. He was later found with two bullets in the heart, according to the Telegraph, which cited a report on a website linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“I could see two bullet wounds on his body and the extent of his injuries indicated that he had been assassinated from a close range with a pistol,” an eyewitness told the website.

The commander of the local police said that two people on a motorbike had been involved in the assassination.

Desperate to overcome our isolation, I guess./s

Seems that most assassinations in Iran, NK etc are carried out by their own government ...

Ehh - workplace 'accident' or forced retirement by his employers due to a lack of competent job performance.

When you are on Mossads Sh-t List it will be a real bad day for you. They are just the trashmen, picking up and taking out the trash as a public service.

Ha. A well earned ‘sarcasm’. It is great that you still have a sense of humor.

Frankly, I’d be pretty upset if people were launching random strikes on my neighborhood with rockets.

Wait until people here in the U.S. find out that they have been invaded and taken over already. Boy, will they be pissed.

I sure hope he was assassinated, and I hope he's not the only one!

Too bad. He might have been able to help hack the exchanges or foul up he NSA.

Aneurism. Very common in high stress environments like Iranian IT. In this case, I suspect one or more .22 inch aneurisms, or maybe a 9mm aneurism. Both very common.

Funny thing happened while Obama was on the phone with Iran’s leader .... Iran’s cyber sleuths were hacking into the Navy’s computers .. evidently got through to some areas.

Don’t know what that means .. but I don’t like the sound of it.
