Iran seeks remedy for assassinations

Iranian representatives said there are plans to file a complaint with an international court about the deaths of Iranian nuclear scientists. Several Iranian nuclear scientists were killed inside the country. Iran has said it believes Israel is behind the deaths. The semiofficial Fars News Agency reports families of those scientists plan to file a lawsuit in international courts against the United States, Great Britain and Israel for the killings. "We announce to the world through this lawsuit that assassination of nuclear elites and scientists by the arrogant powers, spearheaded by the U.S., Britain and the usurper Zionist regime, are far from humanity and human principles and announce our protest against inhuman acts," the report quotes the lawsuit as saying. Iran is suspected of pursuing technology needed to produce a nuclear weapon, though the government maintains Iranian nuclear scientists are pursuing civilian energy and medical research. This week, Fars reported that Tehran was considering legal action in response to cyberattacks on its computer networks. The latest cyberattack reportedly prompted Iranian computer networks at nuclear research facilities to play a song from hard rock band AC/DC.
