According to Iranian state officials, 24-year-old Majid Jamali Fashi, who was sentenced to death by hanging was an Israeli Mossad agent. He was executed after being found guilty of murdering senior nuclear scientist Prof. Masoud Ali Mohammadi with a remote controlled explosive device. Fashi was already in custody in January 2011, as was reported by YWN.

Both Jerusalem and Washington have denied any connection to the explosion that killed the scientist, but for Iran, the statements of denial were not relevant since interrogators forced a confession from the “Mossad agent”.
