TEHRAN, Jan. 19 (MNA) -- Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar announced on Tuesday that a special committee has been formed to protect the country’s scientists.
Talking to reporters on Tuesday, Najjar said given the emphasis President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad puts on protection of the scientists, a special committee was formed in this regard and it has started its work.

On November 29, 2010, Shahriari and Abbasi Davani were targeted by terrorists in two separate bombings. Shahriari was killed and Abbasi Davani was injured in the attacks. The two academics were both on their way to work at Shahid Beheshti University in northern Tehran when they were attacked. The police say that in both incidents, terrorists riding motorcycles attached magnetic bombs to the physicists’ cars.
