Iran: Coffin of slain nuclear scientist carried in procession to Mashhad shrine

Family and those close to Mohsen Fakhrizadeh gathered in Mashhad, on Saturday, as the coffin of the assassinated Iranian nuclear scientist was taken from a plane and to the Imam Reza shrine.

Fakhrizadeh's son, present at the procession called the assassination a 'very cowardly act.'

It is still unknown who carried out the attack on Fakhrizadeh, who was accompanied by multiple bodyguards at the time. He was wounded initially, before dying later in hospital.
