Tehran (dpa) – A car bomb killed a chemistry scientist and injured two in Tehran on Wednesday, official sources said, confirming earlier reports about the blast in downtown Tehran. A motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to the car of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan. It killed the chemistry scientist and injured two others in his car. A spokesman of Sharif University in Tehran said the man was a chemistry graduate and now lecturer of that university and had been working on scientific projects. A deputy in the Tehran governor's office compared the incident to assassination attempts in the last two years on three other Iranian scientists who worked on nuclear projects. The deputy, Safar Ali Bratloo, accused Israeli agents of being linked to Wednesday's assassination, saying, “The Zionists are trying to intimidate the people by these acts into not attending the elections.” Iranian Parliamentary elections are scheduled for March 2.
