There’s a very interesting rumor that Israel’s Mossad agents have assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists. Iran’s Farsi news agency says the Mossad could not have been behind the death of one of its nuclear scientists, because Israeli operatives cannot penetrate the Iranian security apparatus. Right. I think Mossad agents could probably do anything they set their minds to doing, including killing Iranians.

Professor Ardashir Hosseinpour, a world authority on electromagnetism, died on January 18 but his death was not reported in the media until six days later. Stratfor.com believes the Mossad killed Hosseinpour, saying he died from “radioactive poisoning” that was part of a Mossad effort to stop the Iranian nuclear program through “secret operations”.

Mr. Hosseinpour is not the only scientist suspected to be killed by Mossad:

A website of expatriate Iranian communists is also reporting that several other scientists were killed or injured in the operation to kill Hosseinpour at Isfahan, and they were given treatment at nearby hospitals. Iranian physicians are trying to determine the circumstances of the deaths, and believe they may have to deal with similar incidents in the future. (source)

There is history of Mossad killing Iraqi nuclear scientists:

Mossad has been, since 1970s involved in the deaths of numerous scientists involved with the Iraqi nuclear program. In 1980, Yahya al-Meshad was found dead in his Paris hotel room. Over the next several months, two other Iraqi nuclear scientists were also killed as a result of poisoning. (source)
