Is this coming to US now if this was an assassination?

Hmm, Thomas Paine's word never seemed more clear now:

"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

So does Rick Santorum think this is a wonderful thing and does Sean Hannity say "god bless" the shooter?

Looking at the comments... Nothing to see here folks, just another case of crazy Muslims killing each other... This isn't a play by world governments, even with as often as especially Iranian scientist seem to be targets. It's pure concentrated coincidence.

Good question.

Assassination of scientists in Iran were blamed on mosad agents but in US chances of such agents presence are not certain. Would be interesting to see what investogators find, too soon to know what led to this.

She wasn't even in Iran and it looks like she opposed the Iranian government. Why the heck would the US government even want to kill her? And it looks like the title of the article is made to drum up news. She was an Iranian, working in America as a molecular scientist at a cancer center...

I hope that the US had nothing to do with this. If they did, damn their black hearts.

ex-boyfriend puts a hit out on her because of psycho love gone wrong, gets on the phone for an alibi.

Ah but they will say that it must of been an Iranian sniper who is on our soil trying to stir up things. A false flag of sorts.

Yes, they have already said as much. You can throw Newt and Romney in there as well though. They are both for NDAA too.

My first thought too, but we don't want to jump to that conclusion. The Police and media do that all the time and they are often wrong.

It's hard not to believe this wasn't intentional because of her profession. However, she was also fighting for women's rights and a lot of the male fundamentalists go off the deep end about this.

Was she even a "Scientist"?

Bagherzadeh was a molecular genetic technology student at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She also was active in promoting Iranian women's rights, police spokesman Victor Senties said.

Edit:
Googled her name.....Not a "Scientist" Definitely a "student activist".

Well when the last Iranian nuclear scientist was killed a few weeks back there was a sudden 1000 people jump in the number applying to study nuclear physics in Iran.If they want to experience blowback they're doing a good job.

This isn't new, she was a human rights activist, not a scientist.

It was a hit, or assassination by the details, too precise to be accidental, too clean, but by whom or for what?

She was assassinated. The person who shot her did not steal her purse or money. This happened in The Galleria, which is a major shopping area here in Houston. If you are a celebrity and want to go shopping in Houston, you go here. Her home was a town home just around the corner from there.

This aired once on the local news here and then nothing.

Mossad is waging their war in Iran and also here in the states. I live just 20 minutes from the Galleria. How's that for close?

I don't think she's a celebrity.

I don't know why anyone would assassinate her. She wasn't anyone important, I mean she did good things, but she wasn't a threat to anyone.

We aren't supposed to know why anyone would want to kill her. You assume she wasn't a threat to anyone. Someone in this world committed premeditated murder against her and didn't even bother to cover it up (by stealing her money, etc.).

Right, someone wanted her dead and wanted people to know it was a hit and not a robbery gone bad.

If I was an Iranian scientist right now I would be nervous. It could be this was another attempt to provoke Iran into responding with military action which would start the war the elite so desperately want to start.

I'm suprised the Roland Carnaby story didn't/hasn't stirred up more interest from people.

This, the story will disappear into the dustbins of history, just like many before it.

This may be an attempt to legitimize the Iranian nuclear program to something it is not. i.e. To make people believe that they must be working on a bomb or else their scientists would not be being assassinated...

...Or it could just be some douche bag who went way too literal with Santorum's warmongering.

Nothing new about this.

A similar assisination was carried in Austin a few years back, the victim, was gagged and stabbed and thrown off bridge.

Ruled a "suicide" IIRC

yea, but not enough to actually kill. she was irrelevant in fight for so-called "women's rights".

They could track where the phone call came from. If it was in the vicinity they probably wouldn't take him off the list possibilities so quickly. Granted they could just say that in public and not mean it.

The above poster mentioned her being part of the CIA. That's actually a possibility. I know the CIA has a history of getting involved in feminist movements. Why not tack on Iranian nuclear chicks on top in this political climate?

It's more like a blowback scenario they are after... they want the Iranians to react like a retaliation reaction (they are counting on it); or they could be setting one of the Americans (diplomat, scientist, politician, etch) as a sacrificial lamb to be assassinated by a secret org (with industrial military complex created terrorist cell of home made Iranian sympathizer terrorist) by setting up a false flag against the Iranians that would make the Americans public going into a mob mentality of invading or going to war with Iran that also sets the precedent for the president to initiate Iranian assaults.
