This is one way of doing it..

A PRIZE-WINNING Iranian nuclear scientist has died in mysterious circumstances, according to Radio Farda, which is funded by the US State Department and broadcasts to Iran.
An intelligence source suggested that Ardeshire Hassanpour, 44, a nuclear physicist, had been assassinated by Mossad, the Israeli security service.
Hassanpour worked at a plant in Isfahan where uranium hexafluoride gas is produced. The gas is needed to enrich uranium in another plant at Natanz which has become the focus of concerns that Iran may be developing nuclear weapons.
According to Radio Farda, Iranian reports of Hassanpour�s death emerged on January 21 after a delay of six days, giving the cause as �gas poisoning�. The Iranian reports did not say how or where Hassanpour was poisoned but his death was said to have been announced at a conference on nuclear safety.
Rheva Bhalla of Stratfor, the US intelligence company, claimed on Friday that Hassanpour had been targeted by Mossad and that there was �very strong intelligence� to suggest that he had been assassinated by the Israelis, who have repeatedly threatened to prevent Iran acquiring the bomb.
Hassanpour won Iran�s leading military research prize in 2004 and was awarded top prize at the Kharazmi international science festival in Iran last year.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to announce next Sunday � the 28th anniversary of the Islamic revolution � that 3,000 centrifuges have been installed at Natanz, enabling Iran to move closer to industrial scale uranium enrichment.
Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency say that hundreds of technicians and labourers have been �working feverishly� to assemble equipment at the plant. |

| According to some Koreans, South Korea was all set to have The Bomb back in the 70's because some scientist or other had stolen the blueprints and sewed them up in his thigh (or calf, reports vary) but was killed in a freak car accident on the way to the airport by the CIA (or FBI, reports vary). |

Anyone can be a mullah or a wacko president. Not everyone can be a nuclear scientist. |

Oi. Why not just arrest the guy? I guess the nationalists would argue it would destabilize the relationship between the USA and South Korea... |

To clarify:
Truth of the matter is this: CIA never was competent in assassination. Failed full-court presses against Lumumba, Castro, and now bin Laden demonstrate that.
As for the FBI allegation, they only post leg-atts abroad. Not operational. And, in any case, the Bureau is a law-enforcement and not a covert operations agency. Lacks the know-how to assassinate loose-cannon nuclear scientists in "suspicious" car accidents... |

If you allege there was even one, you ought to have at least a splinter of a leg to stand on. At least one victim's name, for example.
Barring any direct evidence, then, I would have to tentatively and conditionally answer "none." |

The whole point of being successful would be that ...outside the ones directly involved, nobody finds out about it.
It's one of these Catch-22's 
Haven't seen any of the usual suspects posting conspiracy threads...thought I'd give them a hand.  |
