Another Ahmadinejad Minister Plagiarizes

Evidence is coming out that Ahmadinejad's Transportation Minister Behbahani plagiarized a paper he published. This comes on the heels of Ahmadinejad's Science Minister also plagiarizing a paper. It seems that this cabinet is illegitimate in more ways than one:

An article published on the French daily newspaper Libération, in a letter to Christophe Claramunt, a professor at the institute of research of the school of Navale, an Iranian scientist demonstrates how Iran’s Minister of Transport Mr Behbahani has actually duplicated parts of a work of Christophe Claramunt, his Chinese colleagues and a Canadian colleague by the name of Gerry Forbes in 2002, 2003 and 2004. . However, Mr Behbahani has failed to cite the sources for the copied sections. Behbahani along with two other Iranians by the names of Hasan Ziyari and Mohammad Kheibari published their plagiarised work in 2006 in a Lithuanian journal at the Technical University of Vilnius
