#news Iranian students stage protest against Britain over assassinated nuclear scientist

TEHRAN, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- A group of Iranian university students gathered on Sunday in front of the British Embassy in Tehran to protest against what they called Britain's involvement in assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist.

The angry students set ablaze the flags of Britain and the U.S. in site in protest of the so-called "plot," the official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.

The students carried placards and chanted slogans, according to the report.

In two separate incidents in northern Tehran late November, Iranian nuclear scientist Majid Shahriari was killed and another scientist Fereidoon Abbasi was wounded, both on their way to work.

Iran accused Israel and Western countries' intelligent services of being behind the terrorist attacks.
