Iran: Scientist Assassins May Have Used U.N. Info

HeadlineJan 20, 2012

At the United Nations, Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said Iran believes the scientist may have been killed with information supplied by the United Nations.

Mohammad Khazaee: “There is high suspicions that these terrorist circles used the intelligence obtained from United Nation bodies, including the sanction list of the Security Council and interviews carried out by IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] with our nuclear scientists, to identify and carry out their malicious acts. The late Ahmadi-Roshan had recently met with IAEA inspectors, a fact that indicates that these U.N. agencies may have played a role in leaking information on Iran’s nuclear facilities and scientist.”
