Well, well…Nuclear scientist who Iran says was killed by Israeli Mossad was Iran’s top STUXNET worm expert
Prof. Majid Shahriari, who died when his car was attacked in North Tehran Nov. 29, headed the team Iran established for combating the Stuxnet virus rampaging through its nuclear and military networks. Experts believe the Stuxnet worm is an Israeli creation.
DEBKA - 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.Prof. Shahriari was the Iranian nuclear program’s top expert on computer codes and cyber war. Tehran held US intelligence and the Israeli Mossad for responsible for the scientist’s death.
It is important to note that the attacks took place in the most secure district of Tehran, where the top-secret labs serving Iran’s nuclear facilities are located. They must therefore have been set up after exhaustive and detailed surveillance.
The attacks occurred at 7.45 a.m. Iranian time, less than 12 hours after the WikiLeaks organization uncovered US diplomatic cables attesting to a proposal by Mossad director Meir Dagan to overthrow the Islamic regime as one of the ways of terminating its nuclear program. He proposed enlisting oppressed Iranian minority groups for the task, like the Baluchis and their liberation movement, Jundallah.
Our intelligence sources note that this was the fifth attack in two years on Iranian nuclear scientists in Tehran. None of the perpetrators were ever apprehended. Some sources suggest that the latest double hit may have been the work of Jundallah, which recently began targeting nuclear scientists serving the hated regime and which two months ago reported abducting a scientist employed at the Isfahan nuclear facility.
