The Scientist and the A.I.-Assisted, Remote-Control Killing Machine

[Zorro]

Israeli agents had wanted to kill Iran’s top nuclear scientist for years. Then they came up with a way to do it with no operatives present.

Iran’s top nuclear scientist woke up an hour before dawn, as he did most days, to study Islamic philosophy before his day began.

That afternoon, he and his wife would leave their vacation home on the Caspian Sea and drive to their country house in Absard, a bucolic town east of Tehran, where they planned to spend the weekend.

Iran’s intelligence service had warned him of a possible assassination plot, but the scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, had brushed it off.

Convinced that Mr. Fakhrizadeh was leading Iran’s efforts to build a nuclear bomb, Israel had wanted to kill him for at least 14 years. But there had been so many threats and plots that he no longer paid them much attention.

1. If Israel feels the need to murder Iranian citizens, they need to do it the old fashion way and

declare war on Iran and be done with it. I don't know how the Israelis can just justify cold-blooded murder of foreign scientists. It is not just Israel either, we have done the same things even though it violates our own laws. Injustice is no path to peace.
