We all have to watch out for fake news in these times but several media outlets have confirmed these strikes.
I took a screenshot from CNN since i think their visual presentation is helpful.
Iran accuses US, Israel, and Britain of role in killing of nuclear scientist
Tehran sends diplomatic letter to US saying it has evidence of CIA involvement in killing of Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan
January 14, 2012
Iran has accused the US and Britain of being behind the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist this week in Tehran.
Iran's foreign ministry has sent a diplomatic letter to the US saying that it has "evidence and reliable information" that the CIA provided "guidance, support and planning" to assassins "directly involved" in Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan's killing, the IRNA state news agency reported on Saturday.
Ahmadi-Roshan, a 32-year-old chemist, was killed in Wednesday morning traffic by motorcycle-borne assassins. It was the fifth time in two years that a scientist from the state nuclear programme had been targeted. Each time, the hit squad used a motorcycle.

Shocked Costa Concordia passengers escape sinking liner
Dramatic amateur video of resque operation from sinking luxury cruise ship emerged. Voices are heard of scared passengers being evacuated from Costa Concordia cruise liner to the shore. At least three people have been confirmed dead after a cruise ship carrying over 4-thousand passengers ran aground off Italy's north-west coast. 69 are still unaccounted for. Most of those on board the Costa Concordia were evacuated on lifeboats or swam ashore. The vessel hit a sandbar near the island of Giglio late on Friday. January 14, 2012

1. Stephen Hawking to turn 70, defying disease - http://bit.ly/Ab7WgK British scientist Stephen Hawking has decoded some of the most puzzling mysteries of the universe but he has left one mystery unsolved: How he has managed to survive so long with such a crippling disease.
2. Majority of Americans say research and development are key to building US economy -http://bit.ly/AebIPJ The new edition of America Speaks, a compilation of public opinion polls commissioned by Research!America, demonstrates increasing public support for research and innovation to improve health, create jobs and boost the economy. However, nearly 60% of Americans don't believe we are making enough progress in medical research, and 54% don't believe the U.S. has the best health care system in the world.
3. Graphene's piezoelectric promise - http://bit.ly/wX3JIl _Engineers predict that graphene can be coaxed into acting piezoelectric, merely by punching triangular holes into the material. Engineers at the University of Houston have used quantum mechanical calculations to show that, merely by creating holes of a certain configuration in a sheet of graphene, they can coax graphene into behaving like a piezoelectric material.
4. You say you don't care about dating a hottie? - http://bit.ly/zWBYQV However, a new methodology that measures people's implicit, split-second responses gets around this problem. Research from Northwestern University and Texas A&M University measures whether people's implicit preferences actually predict how much you like the hotties.
5. Study finds air pollution linked to diabetes and hypertension in African-American women- http://bit.ly/xmy0pw While it is well established that air pollution increases the risks of acute cardiovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction, it is not known whether exposure increases the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. However, emerging findings from laboratory and clinical studies suggest that air pollution may predispose to both conditions.
6. Study finds statin costs 400 percent higher in US compared to UK - http://bit.ly/xmy0pw In the United States, the cost paid for statins (drugs to lower cholesterol) in people under the age of 65 who have private insurance is approximately 400 percent higher than comparable costs paid by the government in the United Kingdom (U.K.). These findings, from the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program, are the first results of a comprehensive comparison of prescription drug costs between the U.S. and U.K. The study appears on-line in the journal Pharmacotherapy.
7. Flatworms' minimalist approach to cell division reveals molecular architecture of human centrosome - http://bit.ly/AewDYw Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have discovered that planarians, tiny flatworms fabled for their regenerative powers, completely lack centrosomes, cellular structures that organize the network of microtubules that pulls chromosomes apart during cell division.
8. Scientists 'hijack' bacterial immune system - http://bit.ly/yS6CDe The knowledge that bacteria possess adaptable immune systems that protect them from individual viruses and other foreign invaders is relatively new to science, and researchers across the globe are working to learn how these systems function and to apply that knowledge in industry and medicine.
9. Graphene rips follow rules: Simulations show carbon sheets tear along energetically favorable lines - http://bit.ly/xUllar Research from Rice University and the University of California at Berkeley may give science and industry a new way to manipulate graphene, the wonder material expected to play a role in advanced electronic, mechanical and thermal applications.

Fault Lines: Chile rising - Chilean students have taken over schools and city streets in the largest protest
Chilean students have taken over schools and city streets in the largest protests the country has seen in decades.
These actions are causing a political crisis for the country's billionaire President, Sebastian Pinera.
The students are demanding free education, and an end to the privatization of their schools and universities. The free-market based approach to education was implemented by the military dictator Augusto Pinochet in his last days in power.
As the demonstrations in Chile coincide with protests erupting globally, Fault Lines follows the Chilean student movement during their fight in a country that is among the most unequal in the world. This episode of Fault Lines first aired on Al Jazeera English on January 2, 2012 at 2230 GMT.
