Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed near Tehran in November after an automated gun was smuggled into Iran in pieces by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, The Jewish Chronicle reports. A 'hyper-accurate' weapon was reportedly used in the killing to prevent any civilians from being hurt in the strike. The Chronicle, citing intelligence sources, said a team of more than 20 agents, including Israeli and Iranian nationals, ambushed Fakhrizadeh after eight months of surveillance.

He had been described by Western and Israeli intelligence services for years as the mysterious leader of a covert atomic bomb programme halted in 2003.
