(Reuters) - Western security agencies were most likely behind the killing of an Iranian scientist in an operation that underlines the myriad complications in the conflict over Iran's nuclear program, analysts say.

Darioush Rezaie, 35, a university lecturer, was shot dead by gunmen in eastern Tehran Saturday, the third murder of a scientist since 2009. One was killed in a car bomb, the second by a device detonated remotely.

"Assassinations will continue to be a tool used in this covert war. While it's impossible to tell with certainty whether Rezaie was an active nuclear scientist, his death appears to be another episode in that war," said London-based analyst Ghanem Nuseibeh, founder of Cornerstone Global Associates.

Chinesen untersuchen geheime US-Militärtechnik

Affront gegen die USA: Pakistan soll chinesischen Experten Medienberichten zufolge Zugang zu einem mit Spezialtechnik ausgerüstetem Hubschrauber verschafft haben. Den beschädigten Helikopter hatten die Navy Seals nach der Tötung Osama Bin Ladens zurücklassen müssen.
...

Ein US-Vertreter sagte der New York Times, Geheimdienstmitarbeiter seien sich "sicher", dass die Chinesen den Helikopter fotografieren und sogar Teile des Wracks mitnehmen duften. Es gebe aber keine "endgültigen Beweise" für den Besuch der Chinesen in Abbottabad. Die Vorwürfe stützen sich demnach auf abgehörte Gespräche, in denen Pakistaner darüber sprechen, die Chinesen auf die Absturzstelle einzuladen.

Die chinesischen Experten hätten das Wrack untersuchen, es fotografieren und Proben der speziellen "Tarnkappenhaut" nehmen dürfen, die den Hubschrauber unsichtbar für Radar machen.

Willkommen in der Schattenwelt: Zehn Jahre nach ihrem Versagen von 11. September 2001 ringen die US-Geheimdienste mit einem Informationschaos und bedienen sich der Dienste Hunderttausender Mitarbeiter, die nicht immer integer sind. CIA, FBI und Co. haben zwar so viel Geld und Agenten zur Verfügung wie seit dem Kalten Krieg nicht mehr - doch das erscheint als zunehmend kontraproduktiv.

In a significant failure for the United States in the Mideast, more than a dozen spies working for the CIA in Iran and Lebanon have been caught and the U.S. government fears they will be or have been executed, according to four current and former U.S. officials with connections to the intelligence community.

From there, Hezbollah's internal security arm identified at least a dozen informants, and the identities of several CIA case officers.

Hezbollah then began to "roll up" much of the CIA's network against the terror group, the officials said.

In Iran, intelligence minister Heidar Moslehi announced in May that more than 30 U.S. and Israeli spies had been discovered and an Iranian television program, which acts as a front for Iran's government, showed images of internet sites used by the U.S. for secret communication with the spies.

U.S. officials said the Iranian television program showed pictures of people who were not U.S. assets, but the program's video of the websites used by the CIA was accurate.

Zitat:What is Gauss hiding?
Talking to Jarno Limnéll, cyber security expert

NOW Lebanon spoke with Jarno Limnéll, director of cyber security at Stonesoft Corporation, to get his thoughts on what Gauss might really be up to.

When you first heard about Gauss, who did you think it was targeting?

Jarno Limnéll: I think that when more than two-thirds of infected computers are located in Lebanon, and I think that when we most probably know that Gauss was produced by the factories (meaning Israel and the US) as Stuxnet, I’m pretty sure the main target is to follow the banking flows in Lebanon, and what is the most important, most interesting issue for the United States and Israel in Lebanon, that’s Hezbollah. [They are] especially [concerned] about the money flowing between Syria, Iran and Lebanon, meaning Hezbollah. This is only money, but as we all know, getting to know how the money is moving it tells you quite a lot, for example, about the arms trade.

What do you think Gauss’s mystery code is hiding?

Limnéll: It’s very hard to say anything about it, but I think it might involve some kind of surveillance, even a more sophisticated tool, targeting Hezbollah. It could be just one way to get in, to know more about how the organization works, what are their current activities with Iran, with Syria at the current moment. [The US and Israel] are more interested at this moment to follow what Hezbollah is doing and how they are cooperating or doing what Iran hopes them to do at this moment.

Stuxnet was designed to disrupt centrifuges that Iran is using to enrich uranium. Do you think Gauss was partially designed to disrupt Hezbollah’s military or communication systems?

Limnéll: No, to be short, and in my opinion, I don’t believe there’s that kind of mystery code in this. I think whatever the mystery code is, it is there more or less for surveillance purposes. I don’t think in this malware there is a physical part of it that would create some sort of disorder. I think this is surveillance malware. But, at the same time, those speculations you gave me about the mystery code, I would not be surprised at all if there is another malware already in Lebanon doing something like this but that we are not aware of it yet.
