Many blogs republished the report (of course) but no other source has emerged, and no paper of record has suggested it was true.
I don't know how reliable a source "DEBKAfile" is, but just in general, it makes me very uncomfortable that civilian scientists may possibly now be considered legitimate targets for assassination or kidnapping by the US, Israel or others.
If you're a scientist working on weapons systems (which is a debatable claim in this instance), you're not a civilian.

So you think that, for example, a University prof. who gets grants and funding from a countries defense department is a legitimate target?
Interesting times when people are targeted because of their intelligence in a given matter
This is crazy if it's true. Is there any corroborating story from a (I hate to put it this way) more mainstream/trusted source? I'm not sure about this Debka. There's some spelling errors and I've never heard of them.

* Main achitect of pyramid in Egypt was buried together in it(bad that I can't find link to that)
* Quite interesting story of Denis Papin (http://radian.org/notebook/boatmen-and-cyberlaw)
* Here is list in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Murdered_scientists (while not all of them were killed because of their work)

According to Iran, scientists aren't working on a weapons system, they are part of a civilian program to produce nuclear power plants. Following your logic, the people who competed in the DARPA grand challenge are not civilians and are legitimate targets for assassination by another world power.
