Report: Iran deputy industry minister shot dead Iranian news agency reports Safdar Rahmat Abadi, was shot in head, chest while driving AFP Published: 11.10.13, 22:56 / Israel News
Unidentified assailants shot dead Iran's deputy minister for industry and mining, Safdar Rahmat Abadi, in Tehran on Sunday night, media reports said.
The official IRNA news agency reported that Rahmat Abadi, the deputy minister of industry, mines and commerce in charge of parliamentary affairs, had been fatally shot in the head and chest as he was driving in the east of the capital.

Citing a police officer at the scene, the report said the shots had been fired from inside Rahmat Abadi's car as bullet shells had been found inside the vehicle whose windows were intact.
The Mehr news agency quoted the Tehran governor's deputy for security affairs, Safarali Baratlou, as confirming the shooting, without further elaboration.
Police said they had begun an investigation. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Rahmatabadi was not a well-known public figure in moderate President Hassan Rohani's government.
This is the second attack in recent days on a government official in Iran. On Wednesday, a gunman killed an Iranian state prosecutor in a restive southeastern region near the country's border with Pakistan.

Pray for Israel Please :(
What a shame, huh?
Do I really need to note sarcasm?
I told Safdar to quit picking up hitchhikers!
When seeking a definition of the term, this murder would define “inside job”
IIRC, there was another Iranian killed recently, too.
Just damn ...../s
Thanks JOHN ADAMS. Gosh, I wonder who’s behind it? /s

That’s odd, reminds me of KGB wetwork more than anyone else.
Sounds like the Israelis are perfecting the “Tantalus Field”.
No, you don't. Would I need to do the same, if I said I thought the Amish did this?
Inside job, or a cute young thing he picked up who wasn't what she seemed? Wouldn't you give Ziva a ride if she seemed interested?
LOLOL.
Point accepted!

” Wouldn’t you give Ziva a ride...”
My hope would be that Ziva waited until “after” before she “finished me off”.
Yes, by all means
