TEHRAN - Iranian university students on Tuesday condemned assassination of Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan Behdast, an Iranian scientist martyred in a terrorist attack in Tehran last Wednesday.
They also called on the UN to launch a probe into the role of the U.S. and the occupying regime of Israel in terrorist attacks against Iranian elites.
"Restricting terrorist actions to a number of grouplets which lack the ability to withstand the security power of the Islamic Iran is a simplistic view, but as the world knows these brutal and inhuman acts are only the result of a long-term planning of governments like the U.S., Britain and the terrorist occupying regime of Israel that are the sponsors of terrorism," students of Tehran University and Tehran University of Medical Sciences said in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
They asked the world body to launch a serious probe and legal action regarding the assassination of Iranian scientists in relevant international bodies.
The letter further stressed that such terrorist acts will be "counterproductive" as they will only strengthen the Iranian people's resolve to achieve their goals.
In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the car of 32-year-old Ahmadi Roshan during a rush-hour traffic here last Wednesday. The driver was also martyred in the terrorist attack.
The blast took place on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Muhammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
The assassination method used in the Wednesday bombing was similar to the 2010 terrorist bomb attacks against the then university professor, Fereidoun Abbassi Davani - who is now the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization - and his colleague Majid Shahriari. While Abbasi Davani survived the attack, Shahriari was martyred.
Another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was also assassinated through the same method on 23 July 2011.
Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi underscored that U.S., Israeli and British spy agencies were involved in the recent terrorist attack against the Iranian scientist.
