The sons of slain nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh spoke about the details of their father’s killing with Iran’s IRIB News on Friday, Israel’s Kan News reported.
“My father was hit four, five times by gunfire,” one of Fakhrizadeh’s sons said, adding that the bullets were shot at short range and the scene was “a war zone.”
He added that his mother was sitting next to his father in the car but was not targeted by the gunmen. (Fakhrizadeh’s wife suffered shrapnel wounds but was not hit by any bullets, according to a New York Times report.)

Fakhrizadeh’s son added that his father was warned by his security team not to travel due to a high-risk warning for that day. “My father refused because he had an important meeting he had that day and was scheduled to lecture to his students,” he said.
Fakhrizadeh was a professor of physics at the Imam Hussein University in Tehran and was the former head of Iran’s Physics Research Center.

When Palestinian Arab terror leader, Abu Jihad (Khalil Ibrahim al-Wazir) was gunned down in bed in his villa in Tunis in 1988, the world was stunned. A friend of mine was in the Government Press Office in Jerusalem when the news broke and heard two Arab journalist loudly condemning Israel for “the crime”. Of course, Israel did not claim responsibility (still hasn’t), so my friend asked them how they could be so sure it was Israel who had carried out the hit, after all, the deceased had plenty of enemies in the Arab world. Looking honestly puzzled by the question, the two Arabs responded that it was undoubtedly Israel’s action, after all, they hadn’t killed his wife who was in bed next to him!
Seems that the Fakhrizadeh sons are offering us the same, unintended, compliment.
Shalom Alechem and good riddance
