An Iranian news agency
reports the judiciary has indicted 18 suspects on charges of
involvement in the killing of nuclear scientists.
Since
2010, at least five Iranian nuclear scientists, including a manager at
the Natanz enrichment facility, have been killed. Tehran has accused
Israel's Mossad, the CIA and Britain's MI6 of being behind the
assassinations. The U.S. and Britain have denied the allegations, but
Israel has not commented.
The Sunday report by
the semiofficial Mehr agency quotes Tehran chief prosecutor Abbas
Jafari as saying authorities have issued indictments against the 18
suspects, and they will go trial in coming months. He gave no other
details.
In 2012, Iran hanged a man who was sentenced to death for the 2010 killing of a nuclear physicist.
