IRAN ARRESTS 30 FOR SPYING FOR USA

TIMES (OMAN):
Iran has arrested 30 people suspected of belonging to a U.S.-linked cyber network gathering information on Iranian nuclear scientists and sending people abroad for training, a news agency reported on Saturday.

It said the group sought to recruit people through the Internet for training in Iraq with the People's Mujahideen Organization, a leftist exile group which launched attacks on the Islamic Republic from Saddam Hussein's Iraq

"Thirty people were arrested in connection with an organized American cyber war network via a series of complex security measures in the field of information technology and communications," the Fars news agency said.

Tehran's general and revolutionary court said one of the group was linked to an outlawed sect -- a reference to the Baha'i religious minority, the agency said.

"Among the charges against this network are creating an intelligence gathering network, including identification of the country's nuclear scientists and staging illegal demonstrations and encouraging the public to take part in them after the presidential elections," it said.
INDO-ASIAN PRESS SERVICE:

Iran claimed to have busted a spy racket allegedly linked with the US intelligence agency CIA and arrested 30 people for operating an internet network to gather secret data related to Iran's nuclear scientists.

The Judiciary said on Saturday it has dismantled a US-backed cyber network, which was set up to gather information on Iran's nuclear scientists and spread unrest after the presidential election.

Sheikh Hussein Ibrahimi, member of the National Security and External Relations Committee, said the informants were detained before they could accomplish their tasks such as gathering information about the scientists. He also said the arrestees were Iranians.
EXPRESSBUZZ/AP (INDIA):
According to Iranian authority, during former US President George W Bush's regime, a new campaign in the intelligence front - the "cyber war" - was set up to engage Iran, with the help of the MKO, pro-monarchy groups and other anti-Iran cells.

"Iran proxy", which was one of the main projects of the campaign, received $50 million from the CIA and the US State Department, the statement said.

The program, which allowed Iranians bypass the state's filtering system and access the internet, was designed to "obtain personal and family information" of its users and pass them on to US spy agencies.

Another major project was a network of "human rights activists", which was led by Keyvan Rafiei, Jamal Hosseini and Ahmad Batebi, it said.The network was tasked with recruiting people and sending them to an MKO camp in Iraq and other countries, where they would receive training, the statement said.
A PROGRAM SET UP BY BUSH - AND EXPOSED UNDER OBAMA. HMMM...

I HOPE WE HAVE MANY MORE AGENTS IN THERE DOING MUCH WORSE STUFF...

STAY TUNED...
