I’m glad that didn’e happen in the US. We’d have a ban on magnets by sundown.

An Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility was killed in a car bomb attack yesterday.

Update:
Ahmadi-Roshan authored a paper on polymer membranes that offer a gas diffusion alternative to centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Reports are that he headed up that effort.

Iran has been hinting at an announcement on a new enrichment scheme and this could be it.

Iran has had significant difficulties with their P-1 centrifuges crashing and have had minimal success with their P-2’s.

It's an anti-magnetic mine coating Germans applied to armored vehicles in WWII called zimmerit.

Some Americans such as the M4 Sherman tank seen below just applied wood planks to the sides of their tanks to combat magnetically attached mines.

Dunno, Mahmoud.
You pissed away so much of Iran’s money on this stupid nuke project that maybe Iranians are trying shut it down?

Funny you should mention that. The other day, I heard a reporter on the BBC questioning the " legality " of the killing.

Espionage, in general, is a anything goes sort of business.
