In the wee hours of last Friday morning, I posted about a roadside bomb attack on a convoy taking Israeli embassy employees home for the weekend from Amman, Jordan. Sources close to Jordan's General Intelligence Department are now reporting that the attack was ordered by Iran.
The sources said the GID was investigating the possibility that the explosives used in the attack had been smuggled into the kingdom by Iranian diplomats.
The attack itself was apparently carried out by local al-Qaida supporters who received money and explosives from Iran, the sources said.
On Monday, Al-Arabiya reported that an Amman taxi driver was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the bombing.
According to the sources, the GID believes that the attack came in response to the killing of Iranian scientist Prof. Massoud Ali Muhammadi in Teheran last week. Ali Muhammadi was killed by a remote-controlled bomb on a motorcycle.
On Monday, Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Muhammad Najjar vowed to take revenge on Israel over Ali-Muhammadi's assassination.
Israel's ambassador in Jordan, Yaakov Rosen (standing), shakes hands with Omar Nadif, Jordan's deputy ambassador in Israel.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Israel of being behind the assassination, which he said had been carried out in "Zionist style."
"We can see Iran's fingerprints on the roadside bombing," the sources said. "The investigation is continuing in various directions."
Alimuhamadi the theoretical physics professor who was not involved in Iran's nuclear program was probably assasinated for supporting Moussavi.... or was he?
Iran seems very determined in believing it was Israel that killed him... and if they do believe that then there has to be a reason Israel did this... and that is:
IRAN WAS VERY CLOSE TO HAVING THE BOMB!
But then it gets even better.

The sources in Amman pointed out that the attack on the Israeli diplomatic convoy had been carried out in a way similar to the assault on the slain Iranian professor.
"We can see Iran's fingerprints on the roadside bombing," the sources said. "The investigation is continuing in various directions."

Last year three Hamas activists were sentenced in Jordan to five years in prison for conducting surveillance of the Israeli Embassy in Amman.
Was Ali-Muhammadi actually assassinated by Israel? According to some sources Israel would have no reason because the scientist was not involved in creating weapons. If Iran wasn't creating nuclear weapons then why would Israel need to kill him?Jordanian bombs squad members inspect the site where a bomb targeted a convoy of cars from the Israeli Embassy in Amman, Jordan, Thursday.
