Suspects arrested over Iran nuke scientist death

Iran has made arrests over a scientist's assassination last week that was blamed on Israel and the US, parliament speaker Ali Larijani said on Monday, vowing his country would avenge the death using "non-terrorist" tactics.

He did not specify how many people were arrested or when the arrests were made, or give any details on the suspects' identities or nationalities.

"We have discovered some clues and some arrests have been made. Investigations are ongoing," Mr Larijani told Iran's Arabic-language broadcaster Al-Alam.

Various Iranian officials have blamed Israel and the United States for the January 11 killing of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a 32-year-old deputy director of Iran's main uranium enrichment plant.

I wonder how much the MIC paid/profited from these "assassinations" ... er, murders. You gotta know they do have a stake in whether or not Iran has nukes and why they may or may not be working on them.
