Iranian Nuclear Scientist Killed in Bombing 
--------------------------------------------



The Iranian government says a nuclear scientist involved in its uranium
enrichment program has been killed by assassins in Tehran. The
scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, was reportedly killed by a magnetic
bomb placed on his car. He would be the latest Iranian scientist to be
killed in a series of similar incidents. As in previous instances, Iran
blamed the attack on what it called "[foreign] government-sponsored
terrorism." On Tuesday, Lieutenant-General Benny Gantz, Israel's
military chief of staff, said Iran should expect more "unnatural" events
this year.
