Mossad hit squad targeting Iranian scientists -CBS news website
IRAN: A new article has revealed that there is an assassination unit
inside the Israeli spy agency tasked with killing Iranian scientists.
The article, published on the CBS News website on Saturday, is adapted
from a new book entitled Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's
Secret Wars by CBS national correspondent Dan Raviv and Israeli
journalist Yossi Melman.
The article provides detailed information about how a super-secret
unit inside Mossad called the Kidon (the Hebrew word for bayonet) trains
agents and carries out spy missions in Iran.
It said that the book, which is a study of fifty years of
assassinations by the Mossad, reaches the conclusion that all the
assassins operating in Iran are Israelis who travel to Tehran using
false passports.
The training of the Kidon members includes almost anything which is
needed for a spy operation. The operatives are also trained in code
recognition and secure communication.
The article added that Kidon is so secret and compartmentalized that
its units are based outside the Mossad headquarters. The article
emphasized that the objective of Kidon's actions is to derail Iran’s
nuclear energy program.
Iranian scientists Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, Daryoush Rezaeinejad,
Professor Majid Shahriari, and Professor Masoud Ali-Mohammadi were all
assassinated by Israeli agents, according to Iran.
Ahmadi Roshan and his driver (Reza Qashqaei) were assassinated in
January 2012 after a motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to their car
in Tehran.
On July 23, 2011, gunmen killed Rezaeinejad outside his house in
Tehran. Rezaeinejad and his wife were on their way to their child's
kindergarten when they were approached by two men on a motorbike. The
gunmen called him by name and shot Rezaeinejad, 35, in the neck when he
turned around.
On November 29, 2010, terrorists attached bombs to the vehicles of
Iranian university professors Majid Shahriari and Fereydoun Abbasi and
detonated them. Professor Shahriari was killed immediately, but Dr.
Abbasi and his wife only sustained minor injuries.
