TEHRAN (FNA)-

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the Zionist regime (Israel) responsible for the Tuesday terrorist attack on an Iranian nuclear physics scientist and university lecturer.

The report of experts on the explosion scene indicates that the assassination was conducted based on the Zionists methods, Ahmaniejad said in a meeting with provincial elites and university professors in the southwestern province of Khuzestan on Thursday.

Condemning the terror of Iranian Physics Professor Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, he reiterated the enemies cannot eradicate Iranian elites by killing them.

President Ahmadinejad said the Islamic Republic of Iran is full of elites and if one of them is killed, over 100 people will replace them.

The 50-year-old professor was killed in a booby-trapped motorbike blast on Tuesday in front of his house in Qeytariyeh neighborhood in northern Tehran.

He was a committed revolutionary professor at the Physics Faculty of Tehran University.

The president and his accompanying delegation arrived in Ahwaz Wednesday on the third round of his provincial tours.

The president is visiting Khuzestan province to review the implementation process of the projects which had been approved during his previous visits to the province.

The initiative of visiting various Iranian provinces started when President Ahmadinejad took office for his first term in 2005 to become closely familiar with people's problems in different parts of the country.
