Citing intelligence sources,
The Jewish Chronicle on Wednesday reported that Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the nuclear scientist assassinated near Tehran in November, was killed by a one-ton gun smuggled into Iran in pieces by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Fakhrizadeh, 59, was long suspected by the West of having masterminded a secret nuclear bomb program.
The 20-plus spy team, comprised of both Israeli and Iranian nationals, carried out the high-tech hit after eight months of painstaking surveillance, intelligence sources disclosed. The weapon, operated remotely by agents on the ground as they observed the target, was so heavy because it included a bomb that destroyed any evidence after the killing.
