New York Times : Two Iranian nuclear scientists were attacked yesterday in Tehran by bombs attached to their cars. Majid Shahriari, a professor of nuclear engineering at Shahid Beheshti University, was killed. He was involved in a major project with Iran’s nuclear agency, according to Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s nuclear program. Fereydoon Abbasi, who was wounded, is a senior scientist in the Ministry of Defense. Salehi, who blamed Israel and the US for the attacks, appeared to issue a warning when he said, “The patience of the Iranian people has its limits. If our patience runs out, you will suffer the consequences.”
