No, not really. It's criminal and against all international law and against our own US laws, but not terrorism, which is defined as acts intended to bring terror to large numbers of people, sometimes entire populations (ala the holocaust). Killing Iranian nuclear scientists doesn't qualify.

By this definition, yes, really. I'm assuming the scientists were not blown up because they owed money to the local loan shark and the blowing up of these scientists is part of a plan sponsored by some governmental group.

Iran's comments are merely buster, but still, the most probable assassination culprits are Israel and the US. I doubt that France or Belgium or Holland is sending assassins into Iran.

Well, of course the most likely scenario is that it's an inside job where the Iranian "government" is responsible in an attempt to sway public opinion of Israel and the U.S. towards a reason to invade either country to kill the terrorists that threaten their national interests.

And, of course, this means they'll invade New Zealand.
