A fired Iranian armed forces employee has been identified as the ‘main element’ behind the assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, intelligence minister of Iran Mahmoud Alavi said on Sunday.
Israel’s feared spy agency (Mossad) was behind the hit, which was carried out by mounting the killing device in a Nissan pickup, Jewish Chronicle (JC) said in a February 13 report.
The Fakhrizadeh hit was carried out by a 20-plus spy team, which comprised both Israeli and Iranian nationals, carried out the high-tech hit after eight months of painstaking surveillance, it said.
