Assassination of Iranian scientists

The timing is probably irrelevant, but on the day following the Wikileaks release of classified documents, two Iranian nuclear scientists have been attacked, with one of them killed. In January another Iranian professor was also assassinated. At the time, there were rather hasty allegations made by the Western press that the Iranians had assassinated their own scientist.
