Iran Executes Nuclear Scientist Who Said He Was Abducted by U.S.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Iran has executed nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri on charges of spying
for the United States. Amiri disappeared during a pilgrimage to Saudi
Arabia in 2009 and later surfaced in the U.S., before returning to Iran
and claiming he had been kidnapped by the CIA. The U.S. government has
denied kidnapping Amiri.
