Iran has accused Azerbaijan of sheltering several Mossad agents who had escaped from Iran after assassinating an Iranian nuclear scientist. Iranian officials had earlier warned Azerbaijan not to shelter the Zionist regime's terrorist agents whose mission is carrying out acts of sabotage and espionage against Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Azeri Ambassador to Tehran Javanshir Akhundov to protest at Baku for sheltering several Mossad-trained terrorists who had assassinated the Iranian scientists.
In January and in the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the car of 32-year-old Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan in the capital, Tehran. His driver was also killed in the terrorist attack.

Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi underscored that the US, Israeli and British spy agencies were involved in the terrorist attacks against the Iranian scientists.

The newspaper cited the testimony of an anonymous Mossad agent referred to only as Shimon.
"This is ground zero for intelligence work," Shimon told the Times. "Our presence here is quiet, but substantial. We have increased our presence in the past year, and it gets us very close to Iran. This (Azerbaijan) is a wonderfully porous country."

"There is a great deal of information there from people who regularly and freely travel across the borders. It is unregulated - almost," said Shimon.
Azerbaijan is a major energy producer and exports oil to Israel and imports weapons and military hardware in return from Israel.
