Iran admits assassinated scientist was nuke expert – Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News.
Foreign officials claim Dariush Rezaeinejad participated in developing high-voltage switches, a key component crucial for setting off explosions needed to trigger nuclear warhead.
Officials have told The Associated Press that a man shot dead in Tehran last weekend was a scientist involved in suspected Iranian attempts to make nuclear weapons and not a student as officially claimed.
The man, who was killed last Saturday, was initially identified by state-run media as Darioush Rezaei, a physics professor and expert in neutron transport. The media then backtracked, with officials subsequently naming him as Dariush Rezaeinejad, an electronics student.
