Assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist ‘involved 62 people including 12 gunmen’ | Daily Mail Online

Remarkable detail of the elaborate plot to assassinate ‘prominent and distinguished’ Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been leaked – as the rogue nation claim Israel is behind the hit.

Fakhrizadeh – dubbed the ‘father’ of Iran’s bomb programme – was shot dead in his car by 12 highly-trained assassins following an explosion in the city of Absard, 50 miles east of Tehran.

The killers – which included a pair of snipers – formed part of a 62-person group of plotters. The remaining 50 people were responsible for logistical support.

62 is a lot of assassins. How do they know there were 62? Is this just what the Mossad not-Mossad press release said?
