\t While no one claimed responsibility for the attack, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif pointed the finger at Israel, calling the killing an act of ``\"state terror.''

\t ``Terrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today. This cowardice _ with serious indications of Israeli role _ shows desperate warmongering of perpetrators,'' Zarif wrote on Twitter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once told the public to \"``remember that name'' when talking about Fakhrizadeh. \n\n\t The killing risks further raising tensions across the Mideast, nearly a year after Iran and the U.S. stood on the brink of war when an American drone strike killed Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian general in Baghdad.  \n\n\t Details about the assassination remained slim in the hours after the attack, which happened in Absard, a village just east of the capital that is a retreat for the Iranian elite.  \n\nIranian state television said an old truck with explosives hidden under a load of wood blew up near a sedan carrying Fakhrizadeh. \n\n\t As Fakhrizadeh's sedan stopped, at least five gunmen emerged and raked the car with rapid fire, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency said. \n\nPhotos and video shared online showed a Nissan sedan with bullet holes in the windshield and blood pooled on the road. \n\nTerrorists murdered an eminent Iranian scientist today.
