In fairness, the Iranian nuclear science community has had many such ‘accidents’ in recent months so if the Iranians are behind this then they’re not doing anything that hasn’t already been done to them. That said, let’s stop pussyfooting around and have the USAF do some urban renewal in Tehran, Qom, and etc.

Good thing the Houston kops were not around for the MLK assassination...

“We don’t believe Dr. King was targeted because of his race or because he was an activist.”

"Police told ABC News' Houston affiliate KTRK that the last person to speak to Bagherzadeh was her close friend and ex-boyfriend who was on the phone with her when she was shot."

I didn't see where it was mentioned she was living with a guy. This guy was a former boyfriend. It's also interesting that the report doesn't mention him calling the police.

I think the bracketed part was bracketed because he was no longer the boyfriend. The used the term loosely.

Eric Holder will have it ruled a suicide before the week is over.

"What will the Obama administration call this one?"

The White House is going to send DNC Chair Debbie Whatasham Schultz out to call it Tea Party inspired violence. And then announce more "enforcement" operations like Fast and Furious - to make sure the guns don't get into the wrong hands (i.e. American hands).

Bagherzadeh was of Iranian descent and was outspoken in promoting Iranian women's rights and criticizing the Iranian government...

An honor killing, of course! She was driving a car, it was midnight and she was not accompanied by a male relative. Daddy would never stand for that!

""It's not believed that she was targeted because of her ethnicity or because she was an activist," Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties told ABCNews.com.

Police don't currently believe her death was related to her activism, but the death is mysterious. Bagherzadeh's cell phone and purse were still inside.

What is it with Law Enforcement (local, state and fed) with their "knee-jerk" reactions and conclusions that they ALL and ALWAYS come out with statements like this...even while the victims are still warm.

Is there a National "Political Correct" Handbook for Law Enforcement which makes this their default talking points?

Shameful.
