An Iranian nuclear scientist, who went missing last year June in Saudi-Arabia during a haj, turns out to have defected to the USA.
ABC News reports that Shahram Amiri, a nuclear scientist at Tehran’s Malek Ashtar University, now lives in the USA and works for the CIA.
The Malek Ashtar university has been identified by the UN as a nuclear research facility overseen by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Documents, obtained by the Times last year, show that much nuclear work is outsourced to trusted universities.
ABC reported that Amiri's defection was part of a CIA operation to woo Iranian nuclear scientists with family contacts in the US.
The most senior Iranian believed to have defected is Ali Reza Asghari, a former Revolutionary Guard brigadier general and Deputy Defence Minister, who vanished on a trip to Turkey in 2007.
