On Sunday, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency
reported that a remote-controlled machine gun was used in the Friday ambush that killed Iran’s leading nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Fars News reported it obtained information about the attack, including the finding that a Nissan car in which Fakhrizadeh was ambushed had a remote-controlled machine gun in it, which was used to fire on Fakhrizadeh’s car and other vehicles in his security detail. According to Fars News, Fakhrizadeh was riding in a bulletproof vehicle, but exited the vehicle after the first shots were fired and was killed by subsequent gunfire. The Iranian Fars News report’s claims could not be independently verified.
In remarks
reported by the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, also said electronic equipment was used to control the attack.
“Unfortunately, the operation was a very complicated one. It took place with the employment of electronic equipment. No person (assassin) was present at the scene,†Shamkhani said, in remarks reported by Tasnim News Agency.
Another Iranian news site, the Al-Alam News Network also
reported claims the weapons used in the attack were controlled via a satellite connection.
