The damaged cars that three Iranian scientists, Masoud Ali Mohammadi, Majid Shahriari and Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, were riding in when they were killed in bombings in the past three years are displayed outside a conference hall hosting the meeting of Non-Aligned Movement in Tehran. Iran says the attacks against its scientists are part of a covert campaign by Israel and the West to sabotage its nuclear program, which the United States and its allies suspect is aimed at producing nuclear weapons.

An expert-level meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement takes place in Tehran. Iran opened a world gathering of self-described nonaligned nations Sunday with a slap at the vast powers of the U.N. Security Council and an appeal to rid the world of nuclear weapons even as Tehran faces Western suspicions that it is seeking atomic arms. Iran seeks to use the week-long gathering as a showcase of its global ties and efforts to challenge the influence of the West and its allies.
