Iran's Fars news agency, close to the Revolutionary Guards, has published bizarre new details of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh's assassination.
His car, escorted by three cars for protection, leaves Rostamkola, Mazandaran province, for Absard, Damavand in the morning.

One of protection team's cars, which was driving upfront, drives off to check Fakhrizadeh's destination for safety.
Meanwhile, Fakhrizadeh stops the car after hearing the sound of gunshots. He gets out, thinking it's either the sound of him hitting something or an engine issue

A Nissan, parked 150m away, begins firing numerous shots at him via "a machine gun being controlled and operated remotely".
Two bullets hit him on the side and one on the back causing a spinal cord injury.
The lead bodyguard stands in front of him and is hit several times.

The Nissan then explodes. The incident lasts three minutes. There were no gunmen or attackers at the scene. It was all done by a fully automatic machine gun. No-one, other than Fakhrizadeh and his bodyguard is hurt.
The owner of the Nissan left the country on 29 November.

Frankly, the whole account sounds like something straight of a funny YouTube clip from a Bollywood action film rather than something that would happen in real life.
I mean, "a machine gun being controlled and oprated remotely"? No gunmen? No attackers?
Seriously?

29 October, sorry.
On that note, everyone should watch this masterpiece if they haven't yet.
You can thank me later for lighting up your cold, grim, gloomy Sunday evening.
