Iranian Nuclear Scientist Was in Regional Project that Included Israelis
(Washington Post) Thomas Erdbrink and William Branigin - Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, 50, a physics professor at Tehran University who was killed by a bomb on Tuesday, represented Iran on an unusual regional project in which its archenemy, Israel, also participates. The project is called Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East, or SESAME. It is based in Jordan and operates under UN auspices. An Israeli representative, Eliezer Rabinovici, director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said he talked to Ali-Mohammadi during an informal group meeting. "We did not discuss politics or nuclear issues, as our project is not connected to nuclear physics," Rabinovici said.
