Iranian students started a campaign against terror, jointly with Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Fars news reported.

The campaign was started after numerous deaths and assasinations of Iran's nuclear scientists. In less than a week some 3,000 students expressed their support and joined the campaign.

In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the car of 32-year-old Ahmadi Roshan during the morning rush-hour in the capital, Tehran. His driver was also killed in the terrorist attack.

The blast took place on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.

Another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was also assassinated through the same method on 23 July 2011.

The student campaign aims for voluntary cooperation with Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, as the campaign still continues, and more people continue to join in.

Members of the campaign also sent a letter to Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Agency, Feridun Abbasi Davani.

"We are ready to provide help, and add as much as we can to the progress of nuclear sphere, and scientific research works," the letter said. Students also proposed their help with security on nuclear research facilities.

Interesting thing is, Abbassi Davani - who is now the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, knows the terror attacks firsthand. In 2010 terrorist bomb attacks were carried out against Davani, then a university professor, and his colleague Majid Shahriari. Abbasi Davani survived the attack, while Shahriari was killed.
