Israeli Worm Eating Its Way Through Iran

"Worm could cause disaster at Iran plant" by Associated Press / February 1, 2011

VIENNA — The control systems of Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant have been penetrated by a computer worm unleashed last year, according to a foreign intelligence report that warns of a possible Chernobyl-like disaster once the site becomes fully operational....  

Oh, great!

With control systems disabled by the virus, the reactor would have the force of a “small nuclear bomb,’’ it said....   

And depending on which way the wind is blowing....

The virus, known as Stuxnet, has the ability to send centrifuges spinning out of control and temporarily cripple Iran’s uranium enrichment program. Some computer experts believe Stuxnet was the work of Israel or the United States....   

Why the vague obfuscation, Zionist War Press?
