Nuclear scientist killed in Tehran was Iran's top Stuxnet expert

World Exclusive from debkafile's intelligence sources:

Prof. Majid Shahriari, who died when his car was attacked in North Tehran Monday, Nov. 29, headed the team Iran established for combating the Stuxnet virus rampaging through its nuclear and military networks. His wife was injured. The scientist's death deals a major blow to Iran's herculean efforts to purge its nuclear and military control systems of the destructive worm since it went on the offensive six months ago. Only this month, Stuxnet shut down nuclear enrichment at Natanz for six days from Nov. 16-22 and curtailed an important air defense exercise.

This would seem to indicate that there was local involvement with this stuxnet worm...now that is very good.

Sidenote on Stuznet:

Brits declare war on Stuxnet. Americans say: Use it on North Korea

So Iran won’t be able to remove the stuxnet worm. This just breaks my heart.

The mullahs are attempting to use Western technolodgy to destroy the West and East and North and South for that matter. It is amusing that they can be thwarted by Western computer experts.
