Iran warns 'enemies' after top nuclear scientist killed Tehran (AFP) Nov 29, 2010 Iran's atomic chief warned "enemies" of the Islamic republic they were "playing with fire" after a prominent nuclear scientist was reportedly killed Monday in a bomb blast blamed on Israel. "Don't play with fire. Iranians' patience is limited and if their patience runs out, our enemies will have a bad fate," Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA. Salehi, a vice president of Iran and the head of its Atomic Energy Organisation, stopped short of naming any countries although state media have accused "Israeli agents" of carrying out the attack. "Dr. (Majid) Shahriari was my student for years and he had good cooperation with the Atomic Energy Organisation. He was in charge of one of the great projects of the organisation," he said. "We will boost the nuclear movement of the Iranian nation by several times," he vowed. Media reported that a blast in Tehran on Monday killed Shahriari and wounded his wife, while another bomb attack elsewhere in the capital wounded Fereydoon Abbasi, a nuclear researcher at the defence ministry, and his wife.
