(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Iran's state TV says authorities have hanged a man who was sentenced to death for the 2010 killing of a nuclear physicist.

The broadcast said that Majid Jamali Fashi, who had been accused of being an agent of the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, was hanged in Tehran on Tuesday morning.

Jamali Fashi , 24, was sentenced to death after being convicted in a trial last August.

Tehran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi was martyred by a bomb-rigged motorcycle that exploded outside his house as he was leaving for work in January 2010.
