Baku – APA. The US has dismissed an accusation by Iran that it was behind the murder of an Iranian nuclear physics professor, who was killed in a bomb blast, APA reports
Mark Toner, a US state department spokesman, on Tuesday called the allegation "absurd", hours after Massoud Mohammadi, a professor at Tehran University, was killed in the north of Tehran, the capital.
Iranian media reported that a bomb strapped to a motorcycle was triggered by remote control outside Mohammadi’s home, killing him.
Iran’s foreign ministry had said that US and Israeli "mercenaries" were behind the attack.
Earlier, the Iranian state-run Press TV reported: "The explosion took place near the professor’s home in Qeytariyeh neighbourhood, in northern Tehran".
