CIA, France, Germany and some Middle Eastern States accused of murdering Iran’s nuclear scientists

Iran spy chief says CIA had help killing nuclear scientists Accuses French and German intelligence services, after previously blaming U.K. and Israel CBC News, The Associated Press  Jul 6, 2012   Iran’s spy chief on Friday accused French and German intelligence services of co-operating with the CIA to kill Iranian nuclear scientists, an allegation likelyto exacerbate tensions between Tehran and the West over the Islamic Republic’s disputed nuclear program. Heidar Moslehi said that other intelligence services in the region — including that of Iran’s arch foe Israel — also took part in the alleged campaign targeting the scientists.

“The recently dismantled networks of assassination and bombing were in
co-ordination with main services,” Moslehi said. “France, Germany,
Israel’s Mossad, CIA , MI6 and all regional services served each
other,” he added.

Until now Iran had previously blamed only the U.S., Britain and Israel
over the killing of five nuclear scientists. Earlier this year it said
it had dismantled two networks responsible for at least five of the
assassinations.

In the most recent case, a magnetic bomb attached to a car killed
nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan in January.

The U.S. and Britain have denied involvement in killing Iranian
nuclear experts. Israel has not commented.
Earlier this week Iran said it had arrested two Azerbaijani citizens
on espionage charges, and in recent months it has accused the
neighbouring country of harboring operatives linked to Israel. Baku
denies the charge and says its citizens are innocent.
Speaking at a Friday prayer ceremony, Moslehi said other countries in
the region were also involved in the campaign, but he did not mention
