Report: Israeli Secret Service Tied to Assassinations of Iranian Scientists 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Iran has accused Israel of being behind the recent assassinations of
five Iranian nuclear scientists inside Iran. Last week, NBC reported
that the Israeli secret service has provided money, training and weapons
to an Iranian dissident group that is thought to be responsible for the
killings of the scientists. An Iranian official said Mossad, the Israeli
secret service, trained the group on the use of motorcycles to attach
small, magnetic bombs to cars, as well as building a replica of an
Iranian scientist’s home for the group to use in training. The Iranian
group, called the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, may also have been
involved in a November explosion near Tehran that destroyed a missile
facility and killed more than a dozen researchers.
