Over 300 students of Sharif University of Technology in a symbolic move asked for redirecting their course of study to nuclear technology and related fields to prove that assassination of Iranian scientists like Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan will not dispirit and intimidate them from making activities and cooperating with the authorities in promoting Iran's peaceful nuclear program.

"Also, over 900 university students and graduates have demanded voluntary cooperation with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI)," member of Sharif University of Technology's Central Council for Graduate Students Mehrdad Bazrpash said, Fars News Agency reported.

In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, a magnetic bomb was attached to the car of 32-year-old Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan during the morning rush-hour in the capital, Tehran. His driver was also killed in the terrorist attack.

Ahmadi Roshan, 32, was a graduate of oil industry university and a deputy director of Natanz uranium enrichment facility for commercial affairs.

The blast took place on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
