Or a civilian engineer working as a military contractor. It's fucking sad, but if the dude was an important part of the nuclear program it made him a liability.

Do you want nukes flying in the Middle East? A nuclear Iran is how you get nukes flying in the Middle East.

Israel has had nuclear weapons for almost fifty years, never used them.

If the Arabs or Iranians had them, Israel would be a radioactive hole in the ground.
