Iran claims Israel hand in killing of scientists

IRANIAN state television aired what it described as confessions of individuals accused of assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists, saying they worked as Israeli agents to sabotage the country's nuclear program.
Five Iranian scientists and academics have been killed or attacked since 2010 in incidents believed to have targeted Iran's disputed nuclear program, which the West says is aimed at producing a bomb.
Iran denies this, saying its nuclear program has peaceful purposes, and denounced the killings of its scientists as acts of terrorism carried out by Western intelligence agencies and Israel's Mossad.
In a documentary aired on Sunday evening, called "Terror Club" and set to a dramatic score, a group of men and women sit against black backgrounds and confess to receiving weeks of training in Israel, then returning to Iran to carry out the killings of nuclear scientists.
One of the men, Behzad Abdoli, said he was taken to a training camp whose location was censored in the film. "I had military training there, training in riding motorcycles, shooting, personal defence," Abdoli said. "They gave us information training as well ... how to take pictures, for example. It took about 40, 45 days."
The film, which did not say whether the individuals had faced trial or when that might happen, showed re-enactments of the killings with the suspects narrating how they were carried out.
It included pictures of a purported camp located outside Tel Aviv. Abdoli said he travelled to Israel via Turkey and Cyprus.
The United States has denied involvement in the assassinations, while Israel has remained silent.
