An unidentified attacker shot dead Iranian Deputy Industries
Minister Safdar Rahmatabadi in Tehran on Sunday night, the state news agency
IRNA reported.
Witnesses said the incident happened at around 7:50 p.m.
(1620 GMT), IRNA said.
"Investigations show that two shots were fired from
inside the vehicle," the agency quoted a police official as saying.
"That two shells were found inside the car shows a
strong likelihood that the assailant was inside the car and in conversation
with Mr Abadi. There was no sign of struggle at the scene of the killing."
Last month, the Telegraph reported that Iran's commander of
the Cyber Warfare Headquarters was found dead in a forest outside Tehran.
Mojtba Ahmadi was found with two bullets in his heart, as
reported in a website affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Five Iranian nuclear scientists and the head of the
country’s ballistic missile program have been killed since 2007. Iran has
accused the Mossad, of carrying out these assassinations.
