Nuclear "Cyber Attackers Arrested"

Iran arrests 'nuclear spies' accused of cyber attacks

BBC: Iran has arrested "nuclear spies" on suspicion of being behind cyber attacks on its nuclear programme, Iranian state media report. Press TV says "a number" of people have been apprehended as part of an operation by Iran to counter "massive enemy schemes". The report comes after the complex worm Stuxnet infected staff computers at Iran's first nuclear power station at Bushehr. No details of the arrests were given. Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi was cited by Press TV as saying his ministry was capable of countering any threats. But he did not say how many people were detained, or specify whether the cyber attack referred to the Stuxnet virus. While the worm also affected computers India, Indonesia and the US, it has spread the most in Iran. Reports suggest that the Stuxnet virus mutated in Iran and infected 30,000 computers >>>

whenever there's something like this, or the Mahbad bombing, there's an immediate "arrest", but when it comes to Neda's death (which was blamed on a whole bunch of people), or the Kahrizak doctor, or the other two doctors who were recently shot (one of whom was involved with treatment of Kahrizak prisoners" there's never an arrest, and the culprits always remain at large...even though they were apparently all foreign agents who were armed, and running wild in the streets of Iran shooting innocent civilians? :-)
