According to unofficial sources, an Iranian nuclear scientist has been assassinated near Tehran.
The scientist has been identified as Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, known as "the father of the Iranian bomb" and Amad project.
He was approached by anonymous assailants who shot him in the head. He was rushed to the hospital but all attempts to save his life proved to be futile.
During the last decade, four Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated with speculation that Israel may have been involved in the incidents.
