The ABC News website reports today (May 15, 2012) that a man -- convicted of assassinating an Iranian nuclear scientist on behalf of the Israeli spy agency Mossad -- has been executed by hanging in an Iranian prison.
The Iranian government claims that Majid Jamali Fashi, 24, was recruited and trained by Mossad to be a spy, and was paid $120,000 to kill Iranian nuclear physicist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi in January 2010.
The Iranian government has claimed in the past that Israel, the U.S., and the U.K. intelligence agencies are to blame for the recent assassinations of as many as five Iranian scientists involved in the country's nuclear or missile programs since 2007.
American and British officials have denied the accusations, while Israel has not responded to them.
