Summary
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani took the US and the Zionist regime responsible for the Tuesday terrorist attack on a nuclear physics scientist and university lecturer. We received some explicit information several days ago that Israel's Intelligence Agency (Mossad), in collaboration with CIA, was seeking to stage a terrorist attack in Tehran, Larijani said at an open session of the parliament on Wednesday. Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi was assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack here in Tehran on Tuesday.The London-based armed opposition, the Kingdom Association, in a statement claimed responsibility for the attack. Larijani linked the opposition group to CIA and Mossad, and stressed, May be the CIA and the Zionist regime have imagined that they can hoodwink others by issuing a vague statement (by the Kingdom Association). He termed the hasty resort of the US and Israel to such a rootless group for covering their crimes a new disgrace for US President Barack Obama.Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast, in a statement, condemned the attack and took the Zionist regime of Israel and US hirelings inside Iran responsible for the terrorist operation.The spokesman described the attack as an inhumane behavior violating all international rules and norms.
