Darioush Rezaei : Who-Done-It???

     Darioush Rezaei was gunned down in cold blood last weekend on the streets of Tehran, Iran. There are two unanswered questions in this case. The first being, who was he and the second being who did it? To figure out who done it we really need to know if Mr. Rezaei was just a Electronics Student, a Physics Professor or part of Iran's Nuclear Weapons program (The Iranians are playing the name game here for once) . I realize some of you may be saying....whoa...hang on a second there...you mean the country of Iran's Nuclear Power program right? No, I mean their Nuclear Weapons program.

    Now considering the fact that he was 35 I'm guessing he was more likely a Professor, then a student. If he was either one of those was he killed by mistake by a foreign intelligence service or is this less sinister and was he murdered over love or money (the two most common reasons) and was it purely personal? If he was part of Iran's Yes-Nukes-Now program and was working on Switching devices as reported then who killed him and why? Was he killed by the West (CIA, Mossad, MI6, etc...) to stop his work or was he not cooperating as fully as the Mullah's would like and did he maybe know too much for his own good and knocked off by MISIRI (Iran's Intelligence agency...hmmm is that an oxymoron?). Likely we will never know. One thing we do know thought...this isn't the first such incident...nor will it likely be the last...


   If stories like this interest and fascinate you in not only the news, but in fiction as well...check out Danial Silva's latest Gabriel Allon novel The Rembrandt Affair. It's a fantastic highly entertaining and thought provoking read...plus after reading this story...it will really make you wonder what is going on out there...
