Leading Iranian Nuclear Physicist Dies in Fall from Ladder and Remote-Controlled Bomb, but Mostly Remote-Controlled Bomb

He's gonna feel that in the morning:

A leading Iranian nuclear scientist was murdered in Tehran on Tuesday in a rare bomb attack that the government quickly blamed on "mercenaries" in the pay of archfoes the United States and Israel.

The daylight killing came amid an increasingly bitter standoff between Iran and world powers over Tehran's controversial nuclear drive, which the West suspects is masking an atomic weapons programme.

Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a particle physics professor at prestigious Tehran University, died when a bomb strapped to a motorcycle was triggered by remote control as he was getting into his car outside his home in the capitals well-to-do northern suburbs, state media and a senior official said.

"One can see in preliminary investigations signs of evil by the triangle of the Zionist regime, America and their mercenaries in Iran in this terrorist incident," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said.

There's only one thing worse than the triangle of evil. That's one of Chuck Norris' shurikens, the mere sight of which causes grown men to lose control of their bodily functions.
