Iran's judiciary spokesman says the man convicted of assassinating Iranian nuclear physicist Masoud Ali-Mohammadi in 2010 has been handed the death sentence.
"According to the verdict of the Islamic Revolution Court the death verdict of terrorist Majid Jamali Fashi, who assassinated martyr Masoud Ali-Mohammadi, has been announced,” IRNA quoted Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei as saying on Sunday.
He said that Jamali Fashi has been found guilty of Moharebeh (waging war against god) and Fesad fel Arz (spread of corruption on earth).
“This sentence was handed today - Sunday - August 28, 2011,” Mohseni-Ejei added.
The prosecution session of the defendant was held on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 in Branch 15 of Tehran's Revolution Court during which the defendant confessed to having been funded and supported by Israeli agents in assassinating the Iranian professor.
Professor Ali-Mohammadi, a lecturer at Tehran University, was killed when an explosive-laden motorbike was detonated with a remote-controlled device near his home in the Qeytariyeh neighborhood of northern Tehran on January 12, 2010.
Upon comprehensive investigations, Iran's Intelligence Ministry said it had dismantled an Israeli network comprising of Israeli-trained spies and terrorists, and arrested the main perpetrators in connection with the assassination of Ali-Mohammadi.
The Iranian Intelligence Ministry revealed that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, had used bases in certain European and non-European countries as well as Iran's neighboring states in an attempt to achieve its inhuman and un-Islamic goals.
