I don't know whether y'all heard but two were killed yesterday and two last week. Operation is motorcycle who slaps a magnetic bomb on car speeds away, bomb detonates and scientist is killed.

Imacrazyman blames, you guessed it USA and Israeli but with recent wikileaks how virtually all Arab nations call Irans snakes and dogs and telling us to take them out I'm thinking this has sunni terrorists written all over it. After all it's in country, with 15% sunni minority, who is treated second class status anyway.

Pretty scary to be a productive person in a despised Government, today.

Good point. This won't work though and kinda sad taking out learned men. Tech is simple most libraries contain instructions for any curious chemist. Problem is procurement of elements.

Tech isn't simple. It may be available to the masses, but if it was simple, we'd all be Brain Surgeons.

The Doctors, Scientists, Business Men, are what make the world go round.

That the politicians are killing them, is wrong.

Unfortunately these scientists are bent on making deadly weapons thus they need to be eliminated. Iran with nukes is not a good idea no matter how you slice it.

Iran is not allowed to have Nuclear Reactors, for power, let alone Nuclear Weapons.

If you show them some respect, and allow them to have Nuclear Power, then maybe they aren't so mad.

It's just a human right, to have Nuclear Power.

now that is a completely loaded statement...

I would not say these scientists are bent on making deadly weapons, I would say that the ones employing them are paying them to make deadly weapons, and if they don't... they pretty much end up dead anyways.

Africa and India could use Nuclear Power too,

Do you want to be party to the Government that didn't help other human beings?

In the recent wikileaks release, they make fun of how our Government sends money to countries, and that money leaves on the next plane to an offshore bank account.

Well, what if our country buys 10 acres, and builds a nuclear power plant.

THAT, is spreading the wealth. THAT, is the job that an individual would do, if not for our oppressive Government.

If you hate our government so much you can always move to Iran or North Korea. I hear Dear Leader is very generous with nuclear power.

His people, African's, Indian's, all people can be helped by the miracle of Nuclear Power. Virtually unlimited energy.

But no. It is a state secret, on how to boil water with radiating rods.

Nevermind the people. Nevermind powering the people. Nevermind creating an environment where people can grow, thrive, and seek Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

In soviet russia, post edit you!

On topic: I'm guessing 50/50 on it being the arabs financing such shenanigans, or the CIA trying to frame it as such.

Kill American businesspeople, it's terrorism, even if the economic engine is fueling oppression somewhere. Kill Iranian scientists who are serving their country's interest - perhaps just for nuclear power, perhaps to not be the next Iraq without nuclear weapons for self-defense in an environment where countries like the US and Israel are building the pressure for war for many years and one commentator says the Wikileaks info tells him the question is not if war on Iran, but when - that's not?

Let's face it - there is contradiction, and hypocrisy, and danger on the policies on nuclear weapons, that has the biggest corruption in our own 'only we get them'.

A nuclear Iran is dangerous; so is a nuclear Israel, a nuclear Pakistan, a nuclear Russia - but as you reduce risk, you reach the issue of the US only having them.

There is an injustice there that paves the way for anyone else - anyone else - to both have a 'need' for them and some justification for getting them.

Any nation who has them not only has the ability to use them, but a security in any conventional aggression it does that it could defend its own security with nukes.

It's a lot easier to be aggressive against others when the worst result is 'we'll leave'.

What a nasty business it is, as governments with competing interests need men of science serving the politics of nuclear weapons - and those politics make them killed.

The real answer is to get rid of nuclear weapons, but lacking the character to do that, man will fight through the ugly messes selective possession causes.

With all the killing of scientists, the black market, the risk in conflicts like India-Pakistan, the potential of terrorists obtaining and using them, brings.

And for all our blaming others doing wrong, we refuse to adopt the right policy to get rid of them, making the risk permanent - and eventual use more and more likely.

Even if we did get rid of them there will always be someone trying to get them. India and Pakistan both developed their arsenals not out of fear from the established powers but from each other. Israeli was "never again". Basically human nature is to want upper hand. So why fight that or fight to preserve our upper hand? You can't fight human nature. Nothing wrong with disabling a sworn enemies potential IMO.
