TEHRAN, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said Tuesday that there are traces of U.S. and Israeli involvement in Tehran's bomb attack on Tuesday, the state IRIB TV reported.

    "In the preliminary investigations there can be seen the traces of the triangular villainy of the U.S., Zionist regime and their agents in Iran's terror attack," Mehman-Parast was quoted as saying.

    Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, professor of the Tehran University was killed by a remote control bomb attached to a motorbike in Tehran on Tuesday morning.

    "Such terror acts and the apparent elimination of nuclear scientists in Iran cannot deter their scientific and technological processes," Mehman-Parast was quoted as saying.

    The scientific and technological developments in Iran "will be sped up and Iran's young and gifted generation will not allow the Iranians' scientific progress to be slackened," he added.

    Two cars, a motorbike and window glasses of the nearby houses were also damaged by the bomb, which the U.S. and Zionist agents had already placed near Ali-Mohammadi's house, IRIB said.

    According to the report, an investigation is underway to trace the Zionist agents involved in this terror attack.
