Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated Wednesday when two men on a
motorcycle stuck a magnet bomb to his vehicle and rode off. According to
reports, Roshan is the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated in
the last two years. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly
denied American involvement and no one has come forward claiming
responsibility for the murder. Jamal Abdi, policy director for the
National Iranian American Council, helps us analyze who could be
responsible and will this cause greater tension between Iran and the US.
[Editor's Note: This is an excellent news report which importantly points out that the Iranians do not yet have a nuclear weapons program, as stated by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta himself. Rather, what the Iranians are actually doing (based on factual evidence) is developing nuclear capability [to boil water] and that it is up to present or future Iranian leaders to decide whether or not to go forwards with a real nuclear weapons program.
There is speculation that the Mossad and MEK (formerly classified by the United States government as a terrorist group) may have been responsible for killing the director of the Iran's uranium enrichment program Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan. Or, as Liz Wahl's guest Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, speculates it could have been some other group or hardliners within the Iranian government itself who do not want Iran to be peacefully incorporated in to the international community. We do not know for sure who is responsible.
I hope that we the public are more vigilant this time and do not get suckered in to believing another lie similar to the WMD/yellowcake deception which was used as an excuse to invade Iraq with catastrophic consequences both in loss of life and economically.]

We stumbled across the smart phone apps as we were investigating what looks like the latest inncident of TEPCO adding Nalgene radiation shields to their cameras to block/reduce the very affect that the "Radioactivity Counter Rolf-Dieter Klein" leverages to use your smartphone camera as a radiation detector.
The App costs $4.99 and you can find it here; The POTRBLOG team has not tried the APP, nor are we in any way affiliated with it; but it does look interesting. The FAQ on the APP may be found HERE
Below are some videos of the work that went into the application.
