Iranian Nuclear Scientist Killed With Magnet Bombs: Was it Mossad or the Saudis?

You figure Mossad wouldn't be this brazen but Israel can't stand for a nuclear-armed Iran. Actually my money is on Saudi Arabia being the culprit. You can tell from the Wikileaks cables that the Saudi's probably fear a nuclear armed Iran even more than Israel does.

The attacks, as described by Iranian officials, appeared sophisticated.

In each case, assailants on motorcycles approached the cars as they were moving through Tehran and attached magnetized bombs to the vehicles, Tehran police chief Hossein Sajednia said. The bombs exploded seconds later, he said, according to the state news agency IRNA.

What would be interesting is if the Saudi's are going to ramp up these killings now that Wikileaks has shown their hand? No need for diplomatic couching and neutral statements. The Saudis should just declare war on the Iranian nuclear regime and get it over with. If you look in Great Game terms the Saudis have the most to gain from turning Iran into a democracy or simply getting a moderate leadership in that gets rid of their nuclear program.
