Since 2010,at least five Iranian nuclear scientists, including a manager at the Natanz enrichment facility, have been killed .Iran has blamed the Mossad as well as the CIA and MI6 for the assassinations, with support from some of Iran's neighbours, but the US and Britain have denied involvement in the killings,while Israel choose not to comment.Iranian officials alleged that the campaign includes the abduction of Iranian scientists, the sale of faulty equipment and the planting of a destructive computer worm known as Stuxnet, which briefly brought Iran's uranium enrichment activity to a halt in 2010.
Iranian investigators made few breakthrough in the conspiracy, that led to conviction and hanging of Majid Jamali Fashi, 24,who was sentenced to death for the 2010 killing of Tehran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi. Majid Jamali Fashi said in televised confessions that he was recruited by the Mossad.
India, with many enemies around has faced similar trauma, with much larger number of such deaths, as according to the Government of India, over just a three-year period, there have been at least nine unnatural deaths of scientists and engineers at just BARC as well as the Kaiga nuclear facility, of which two have been categorised as suicide, with the rest unexplained in terms of bringing to book those responsible.
It is alleged that while there has been substantial international media comment on the unnatural deaths of several scientists working in Iran's nuclear program, similar attention has not been paid to the much larger number of unnatural deaths that have taken place of scientists and engineers working in India's own nuclear program.
Scientists working in the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) have been particularly liable to "suicides" and murders, with several being reported during the past five years. In each case, the unnatural death in question gets passed off as either a suicide or an unexplained killing.
The modus operandi used is similar, as found in one illustration of murder of M. Iyer in Mumbai. On 23 February 2010, M. Iyer, an engineer at BARC, was found dead in his residence. The killer had used a duplicate key to enter the house and strangle the engineer in his sleep. Interestingly, efforts were made by some of the investigating police officers to pass the death off as a suicide. Finally, the Mumbai police decided to register a case of murder.
However, as is usual in such cases, no arrests were made and the investigation ran into a stonewall. Forensics experts say that in all such unexplained deaths of scientists and engineers involved in the nuclear program, fingerprints are absent, as also other telltale clues that would assist the police in identifying the culprit. These indicate a high degree of professionalism behind the murders, such as can be found in top-flight intelligence agencies of the type that have been so successful in killing Iranian scientists and engineers active in that country's nuclear program.
INDIA HONEST deeply regrets and surprises, how PMO has remained unconcerned/aloof from such a large numbers of unnatural deaths of scientists working in BARC ? And that have been reportedly signed off unnoticed,as though those are libelled as ‘suicides’ , but these are clean acts of murders, by the professional group engaged in by the anti India foreign hands.
