Iranian Nuke Scientist - Abducted by the US?

Iran has accused the US of abducting one of its nuclear scientists who has been missing since June

Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist disappeared in Saudi Arabia while on a Muslim pilgrimage. That fact Mr. Amiri was a nuclear scientist wasn`t disclosed by Tehran at first in their prrviuos announcements.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told journalists the Iranians expected the US to return Mr Amiri, and asked the Saudis to co-operate too.
"Based on existing pieces of evidence that we have at our disposal the Americans had a role in Mr Amiri's abduction," Mr Mottaki said. "The Americans did abduct him. Therefore we expect the American government to return him." Mr Amiri worked as a researcher at Tehran's Malek Ashtar University, according to Iran's state-run Press TV.

Earlier Tuesday, foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told Mehr news agency that "Riyadh handed over Amiri to Washington" and that he is now one of 11 Iranians sitting in US jails. Its no wonder the The Saudis and the US were working together. The Saudis would have every step Mr. Amiri made in the kingdom while performing his pilgrimage. This would have greatly aided US intelligence
