Iran's top scientist was assassinated with a remote-controlled machine gun from 150 meters away, semi-official news agency Fars said, contradicting previous detailed reports of a 12-person commando team doing the killing.
Citing “new details” obtained by its journalists from unidentified sources, Fars said on Sunday that the lead security vehicle in scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh's three-vehicle convoy of bulletproof cars left its escort position to prepare the arrival location in Absard, east of Tehran.

 
well nothing is bulletproof given big enough caliber.

Needs a sign on the dash that reads: "SET PARKING BRAKE BEFORE FIRING!"

BTW, what is that... a Prius?
 
Seriously, man. Bruce stacked bodies and it was probably one of the only movies he’s done where he was the bad guy.

Once he takes his shot at the FL, it's not worth watching anymore. Seeing bad-accent Richard Gere race around after him for 20 min is just not worth it. Stupid, really. But all of his "costumes" and such are awesome. Plus taking out Jack Black with a 20mm cannon. LOL
 
Yeah, Jack Black was trying to extort Bruce, terrible call! And I agree, plus the weird little love story between Richard Gere and that chick was not that captivating and the character development was just not doing it for me.
 
BloombergIran Says Scientist Was Killed Using Satellite-Controlled Gun
A satellite-controlled machine gun was used in last week’s assassination of a top Iranian nuclear scientist, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was killed in a gun and car bomb attack on the outskirts of Tehran on Nov. 27, was driving on a highway east of the capital when the weapon “zoomed in” on him “using artificial intelligence,” Mehr said on Sunday, quoting Commodore Ali Fadavi, deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Various accounts of his death have emerged since the incident. While early news reports said he was caught in a gunfight between his bodyguards, others said that he was fired at by a remote-controlled machine gun mounted on a pick-up truck operated by someone who later fled the country.

Fadavi said on Sunday that the gun fired a total of 13 shots at Fakhrizadeh and managed to target him with such accuracy that his wife, sitting just inches away from him in the same vehicle, escaped injury. He added that 11 bodyguards in separate cars were also accompanying the couple at the time.

Iranian Scientist Was Killed Remotely, Security Official Says

The incident is the second targeted killing of a high-ranking Iranian official since January, when outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike on General Qassem Soleimani.

Tehran has blamed Israel for Fakhrizadeh’s killing, the fifth assassination of a nuclear scientist on Iranian soil since 2010. Israel hasn’t commented on the allegations, however Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had singled out the scientist in a power-point presentation on Iran’s nuclear program in April 2018.

 
either way it was an awesome hit and a huge finger to the murderous Mullah's in Tehran. You can run, you can hide you'll just die tired.
 
Ahwaze cited leaks from Iranian government officials and the elite Revolutionary Guard for details of the attack, including the fact that the hit squad knew when and where Fakhrizadeh would be. ...​

"Follow the science", FTW.
