New York, Jan 15, IRNA – United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Friday that any killing like that of an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran last Wednesday was to be condemned. 'Any terrorist act or killing anybody either a scientist or a civilian is strongly condemned,” UN Spokesman Eduardo del Buey Quoted Ban as saying. He added, “This act is not acceptable, human rights must be protected and maintained.” Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, 32, was killed by a magnetic bomb which a motorbike put on his car somewhere close to a Tehran university on Wednesday morning.
