Man gets death in killing of Iran physicist

None

A man was sentenced to death on Sunday in the killing last year of a Tehran physicist, an assassination that authorities blamed on Israel's Mossad spy agency, the official IRNA news agency reported.

 

IRNA quoted the country's prosecutor-general, Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejehei, as saying that Majid Jamali Fashi had been sentenced to death for the crimes of "defiance of God," or using arms against Iran's Islamic government, and spreading "corruption on the earth," or damaging public security and order.
