I think the mullahs have this one wrong. I think it was the Zionist squirrels.
"Iran sees U.S. role in researcher's disappearance," from Reuters, October 7 (thanks to James):
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran accused the United States on Wednesday of involvement in the disappearance of a technology university researcher "rumored" to be involved in Tehran's nuclear program, Iranian media reported.
ISNA news agency referred to "some rumors that Shahram Amiri, who went missing during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June, was an employee of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization who wanted to seek asylum abroad.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki did not confirm that when he made the allegation against the United States, which suspects the Islamic Republic is seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge.
"We have found documents that prove U.S. interference in the disappearance of the Iranian pilgrim Shahram Amiri in Saudi Arabia," he told reporters, according to the website of state Press TV, without giving details....
It could have been invisible aliens from outer space...............
Some may be reminded of the case of Ettore Majorana, an Italian theoretical physicist, and presumably knowledgeable about nuclear physics during its fateful early pre-war period, disappeared in 1938, while on a ferry from Naples to Palermo. He had known Enrico Fermi and Emilio Segre, the two most important Italian scientists in that field, both of whom had by the time that Majorana disappeared had gone to the United States (the leggi razziali had come into force in 1938; Fermi had a Jewish wife; Segre was Jewish). Many theories have been put forth -- murder, suicide, kidnapping, a move to Argentina, a move into a monastery -- to explain that "disappearance of Majorana." It was the subject of a study by the Sicilian writer Leonardo Sciascia: La Scomparsa di Majorana.
For more on the amazing Ettore Majorana, see Wikipedia.
For more on Shahram Amiri, you will just have to wait.
Perhaps it was David Blaine.
Now if he could do the same to Ahmedinajad...
Nope! No doubt about it!
Boris and Natasha have conspired with Israeli squirrel and moose to kidnap Iranian nuclear physicist for their own evil designs.
What will the evil Boris and Natasha think of next?
Stay tuned for the arrival of six-foot-tall metal mice from Israel who chomp up satellite dishes and spell absolute catasrophe in Obamastan. As all their screens go dark, citizens are forced to watch black screens, or sit and watch their clothes in the laundromat. Can mankind concieve of a greater terror? Is it all over, Rock?
WHERE'S SHAHRAM?
Shahram Amiri, who went missing during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June
...during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June
to Saudi Arabia in June
==============
Seems to me that Ahmadingdong and his Regime of Tyranny are indulging in a little PC obfuscation.

Why would anyone want to "seek asylum" from the most glorious Islamic Republic of Iran--which is known far and wide as a Mohammedan paradise?
sarc/off
I don't know what is going on here, but I hope this man is safe, and no longer lending whatever knowledge he might possess to furthering the nuclear ambitions of the genocidal Mullahs in Tehran.
Or maybe it was the Zionist moose that disappeared the nuke scientist: "Hey Rock, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
Zionist squirrels might be responsible? ...I think trained Zionist snakes are more likely. Zionist squirrels, hahahhhhahah!! ...how absurd!!
God! How I wish that the US was still able to do such things.
But I fear that all that has gone the way of the soda pump, the typewriter and the record player.
Gravenimage - he's probably sharing his knowledge, willy nilly, with whatever other nuclear weapons researchers the abominable House of Saud has already been able to borrow, buy or steal. The Iranians are blaming the USA for his disappearance, but this is in order to avoid blaming their everlovin' everhatin' Sunni Muslim brethren who seem to me to be the obvious suspects.
I hope that he is safe. It sounds like they are upset over a defector. Also, note how they avoided blaming Saudi Arabia, even though he was last known to be there.
Squirrel "spies" is not such a strange idea. Attach a tiny camera, perhaps implant some sort of electrodes in various parts of the animal's brain and body so that one can to some extent choose its direction and the speed of movement, train the squirrel to associate pleasure with some substance one knows is near the intelligence target, etc., and you have a potentially powerful intelligence gathering method. The military has apparently used chickens in Kuwait as chemical detectors, dolphins have sometimes been used to locate underwater mines, and pigeons have been used in various ways in war. As advanced as technology is, animals still have some abilities that technology cannot yet match. The nose of a dog is still apparently often far superior to technological chemical detectors.
For the Iranians to cry like this suggests he was a very important person. My money's on Shahram Amiri being induced/bribed/blackmailed to seek asylum in the West, and even now he's singing like a bird to the CIA/MI-5/Mossad. Soon, we'll know the exact state of the Iranian nuclear program, and the location of every one of the nuclear installations in Iran, "secret" or not.
you guys have it all wrong, its the snakes that the IDF are now using, you know the ones that attack and now they can swallow iranians. thanks to the IDF for keeping the world a safer place.
Not even Israel fears the possible Iranian bomb as much as Saudi Arabia. For a hated Shia Saudi Arabia is the most dangerous place in the world.
Taliban attacks Indian embassy in Kabul...designed to cull support from the Pakistani people.
Another great mystery of our time. Just like the disappearance of Edwin Drood which was never clarified, because Charles Dickens died before he could disclose the story.
But are there really scientists in Muslim countries? I've got my doubts about that. I read "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. It's about superstrings, hidden dimensions, and the quest for the ultimate theory. He mentions lots of scientists from all over the world who contributed to this terrific project. There was not a single Muslim name among them. Islam is hostile to science, that Khan in Porkistan who got nukes for his country stole all the material, he only copied. No ideas of his own, he's a thief like the self-appointed prophet who made a living of robbery.
The boy crying wolf...who could possibly believe anything Iran has to say anyway (and who really cares). Go pound sand until you make glass.
"But are there really scientists in Muslim countries?" Sure there are, but visit the web sites of the physics and engineering departments of any university in any Muslim country and peruse the CVs of the faculty and you'll find their PhDs are from the U.S. or Europe. These scientists are inherently as bright as their Western counterparts, but as you say their environment is not conducive to dong original work. But remember, they don't have to re-invent the bomb, they only have to be able to reproduce what was invented by others. Nothing fundamentally new, such as utilizing superstring theory or some such, involved in this. Muslims have a long history of appropriating the instruments of war invented in the West (e.g., the Hungarian cannons used defeat the Byzantines in the siege of Constantinople in 1453). Same thing here.
Whoever made him disappear..I am hoping that it wasn't a magician who will be, for the audience, making him re-appear. As Jimmy Durante would have said..." So long Mrs Calabash..wherever you are."
I don't know who is responsible for this man's disappearance but I wonder if they would be interested in working their magic on a few American politicians. Our country might survive if they were in a state of suspended animation for about 18 months; at least they couldn't inflict any more of their hideous, Marxist debacles on us.
Dog's noses are far superior to anything man has invented. Trained dogs can detect cancer cells in humans long before any man made, scientifically advanced machine can. Not to mention dogs amazing ability to sniff out drugs, explosives etc.
