Modus operandi:

#Iranian State tv said an old truck w explosives hidden under a load of wood blew up near the sedan carrying #Fakhrizadeh.
As he stopped, at least five gunmen emerged & raked the car w rapid fire, @Tasnimnews_EN agency said.
PS: Ops of 2011-12 v/s #Iranian #nuclear scientists were mainly carried by gunmen on motorbikes.
#Fakhrizadeh was probably a bigger, more protected target.
#Fakhrizadeh was leading #Iran’s “AMAD” program that #Israel & the West say is a milit op looking at the feasibility of building a nuclear weapon, including work on the carefully timed high explosives needed to detonate an implosion-style nuclear bomb.
#Fakhrizadeh, born 1958, had been sanctioned by the @UN SecCouncil & the #US for his work on “AMAD”.
A member of the #RevolutionaryGuard, Fakhrizadeh had been seen in pictures in meetings attended by #Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah #Ali_Khamenei.
