Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated on Wednesday when two men on a motorcycle stuck a magnet bomb to his vehicle and rode off. According to reports, Roshan is the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated in the last two years. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly denied American involvement and no one has come forward claiming responsibility for the murder. Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, helps us analyze who could be responsible and will this cause greater tension between Iran and the US.

1. The motive, the rhetoric, and the means point to Mossad. nt

2. Who in their right mind would "claim responsibility?"

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get an idea who paid for the operation, and maybe even supplied the materials. It wasn't us.

I think it will be a long row to hoe to figure out which individuals planted the device--they've probably disappeared back into Iranian society with barely a ripple left behind them. If they're clever, they won't spend all that money in one place, and all at once.

Interesting. First time I have heard anyone actually suggest it could have been the Iranian government.
