The magnetic bomb which was planted by an unknown motorcyclist under the car of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a professor at Tehran's technical university, also wounded two other Iranian nationals in Seyed Khandan neighborhood in Northern Tehran.
Ahmadi Roshan was a director at Natanz uranium enrichment facility in Isfahan province. He was 32, and studied chemical engineering in Sharif University. He graduated in 2002.
