- 10 years ago
Iranian authorities have hanged Majid Jamali Fashi who had been accused of being an agent of the Israeli spy agency, the Mossad, for the 2010 killing of a nuclear physicist. 24 year old Fashi was sentenced to death after being convicted in a trial last August. Iran says that Israel and the US are trying to disrupt its nuclear program through covert operations where at least five Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed in recent years.
