death

On January 11, 2012, strangers on a motorcycle killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roschan using a magnetic explosive device on his Peugeot 405 car . Two other people were injured, one of whom - the driver of the car - later succumbed to their injuries. The Iranian government accused Israeli intelligence services of Mossad and the United States of murder and linked it to their nuclear program . Iranian security officer Safar Ali Baratlu said the bomb used was similar to the explosive devices used in the attacks on particle physicist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi and atomic researcher Majid Shahriari . Western media also linked Roschan's murder with the series of attacks on Iranian nuclear experts that began on January 12, 2010 with Massoud Ali-Mohammadi. As a result, the Iranian government sent a diplomatic note of protest to the governments of the United States and Great Britain. The CIA supported the assassins and the British government played an "obvious role" that could be substantiated with "evidence and trustworthy information". The first arrests were made on January 16, 2012.

Ahmadi-Roschan was buried on January 13, 2012.
