The perpetrators of terrorist acts against the two nuclear scientists of Iran accomplished their goals obtaining information of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a spokesman for Iran's Ministry of Justice Gulamhuseyn Mohsen Azhei said to press conference on Monday, MEHR news agency reported.

According Azhei, the IAEA has no authority to disseminate information on Iranian nuclear scientists. "The IAEA is responsible for the terror against Iranian scientists. Under its internal statute, this organization may disseminate information relating to the obligations of the organization. But it collects information about Iranian scientists," he said.

According Azhei, the IAEA is responsible for this issue.

An attack has been committed on two university professors. Cars, carrying the professors, were blown up Monday morning in Tehran. The blasts took place at between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning, when professors jointly with their family members left home for work. As a result of the terror act, committed near the Shahid Beheshti University in the north of Tehran, one of the professors of the university Madjid Shahriyari died and his wife and another passenger seriously injured. Both scientists worked in the field of nuclear technology of Iran. The list of persons, against whom sanctions are applied upon UN Security Council resolution 1747, also includes Firudin Abbasi.

Iranian officials have accused the United States, Israel, Britain intelligence and NATO of direct or indirect organizing act of terror on Nov. 29, directed against two Tehran professors.

Iran has repeatedly refused the IAEA inspectors' entry into the country. The last such an incident took place in September before the next meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors, when Tehran didn't allow inspection of its facilities by two skilful specialists, accusing them of providing "false information" regarding its nuclear program.
