An Iranian university professor of nuclear physics, Masoud Ali-Mohammadi, has been killed in a bomb attack in the capital Tehran, Iranian media say. Iranian media describe him as a "devoted revolutionary professor" killed by "anti-revolutionary" groups.
It comes at a time of heightened tension in Iran, following June's disputed presidential election. Prof Mohammadi of Tehran University "was killed in a booby-trapped motorbike blast" in the city's Qeytariyeh district, Press TV said. Police sealed off the area and launched an investigation into the incident. No-one has claimed responsibility for the blast.
