Iran’s top scientist was assassinated with a remote-controlled machine gun from 150 meters away, semi-official news agency Fars said, contradicting previous detailed reports of a 12-person commando team doing the killing.
Citing βnew detailsβ obtained by its journalists from unidentified sources, Fars said on Sunday that the lead security vehicle in scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s three-vehicle convoy of bulletproof cars left its escort position to prepare the arrival location in Absard, east of Tehran.
