TEHRAN, August 28 (reporter Du Yuanjiang) - Iranian Prosecutor General and Judiciary Spokesperson Mohseni Ejtehadi said in an interview with local media on the 28th that Iran's judiciary sentenced Jamal Fash to death for the assassination of the country's nuclear physics professor Masud Ali-Mohammad last year.
Mohseni Ejtehadi stated that according to the ruling of the Islamic Revolutionary Court, Fash was sentenced to death. Fash was arrested after the assassination of Ali-Mohammad and was charged with crimes such as "waging war against God" and being one of the "corrupters of the earth." The Iranian court interrogated him on the 23rd of this month, during which Fash admitted to receiving funding from Israeli agents.
Ali-Mohammad was a renowned nuclear physics professor at Tehran University before his death last January when he was killed by a bomb attack at his doorstep. Iran accused Western countries of orchestrating this assassination, stating that the bomb was placed by American and Israeli agents.
Following the assassination of Ali-Mohammad, Iran experienced several more bomb attacks targeting nuclear physicists. On November 29 last year, Shahriari, a physics professor at Beheshti University, was killed by a bomb on his way to work. Another physicist from the same university, Feridon Abbasi-Davani, was injured in a separate explosion. Abbasi-Davani became the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization starting from February this year. In July this year, Iranian nuclear physicist Darius Rezaei was assassinated at his doorstep in Tehran.
