Lessons from the news: Do not be an Iranian nuclear scientist (Five attacks in two years.  Most dangerous job?) All US news outlets will always refer to something in the most positive light for the US (Scientist’s death, scientist’s killing, when it is obviously an assassination) Iranian news successfully calls it an assassination, but then also makes up stuff about Israeli sources confirming the hit came from Israel (which it probably did, but still) The assassins used a magnetic sticky bomb.  Which is it?  Magnetic or sticky?  Why would it need to be both? Assassins generally prefer motorbikes
