Investigators looking into the still-shrouded details of the death of Government Communications Headquarter spy Gareth Williams have learned that in the last months of his life before being found dead in an MI6 safe house he was a member of a team tracking the first-ever computer virus designed to sabotage oil refineries and other industrial installations, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Iran now has confirmed that the software – called Stuxnet – has infected its first nuclear power station. The plant, at Bushehr, is due to go online in November.

Mahmoud Liayi, head of the Information Technology Council at the Ministry of Industries in Tehran, said "electronic war has been launched against Iran.


Western intelligence services have refused to discuss if they were involved in planting the virus in Iran's nuclear program – effectively disrupting its assumed plans to create a nuclear bomb. Both MI6 and the CIA have predicted the attack could happen over the next two years.

But one intelligence officer in Washington admitted: "The success of the virus will make President Obama and the Pentagon believe that Christmas had come early. This is a piece of software new to the computer world. It can take over and control the machinery which run Tehran's nuclear facilities. It could stop in its tracks Iran's plan to produce a nuclear bomb without having to go to war."

While Iran has yet to accuse any country of creating the new breed of malware, it apparently could produce the kind of damage only seen in Hollywood disaster films.
