An Iranian nuclear scientist wounded in a bomb attack Monday is on a UN list of figures under sanctions for suspected links to secret nuclear activities.
A UN Security Council resolution in 2007 includes Fereidoun Abbasi in a list of nuclear personnel under an international travel ban and asset freeze.
Abbasi was wounded on Monday when, according to Iranian officials, an attacker stuck a bomb to his car as he headed to work. A similar attack Monday killed another nuclear scientist.
According to the UN resolution, Abbasi is a Defence Ministry scientist with links to the Institute of Applied Physics, and working closely with Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, another nuclear scientist on the sanctions list. -
