What Was Assassinated Iranian Nuclear Scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh Working On?

CNN: As Iran mulls retaliation for nuclear scientist's death, a riddle remains. What exactly was he working on? 

Tehran, Iran (CNN)Crushed flowers in the fresh snow. Pockmarked asphalt, fences flattened apparently by a blast wave, and bullet holes in the curbside. 

Bar the huge poster of assassinated Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh that sits above the spot where he was gunned down, few traces remain a week on of the killing that has rocked Iran and the region. 

Out in the nearby orchard, a thin layer of white covers a discarded glove and coats a broken tree branch -- either caused by farmers, or the killers whom Iran says were Israeli, but about whom Israel hasn't made any claims. 

A local witness told CNN he heard a huge blast on the Friday of the attack, and then about 10 minutes of exchanges of gunfire -- an account consistent with a bomb and ambush.
