The spies Iran arrested? Russian nuclear technicians
2010-10-06
DEBKAfile reports that dozens of Russian nuclear technicians, engineers and contractors have packed up their families and headed for home after a few of their number were arrested as suspects in the Stuxnet worm infestation at Bushehr, Natanz, Isfahan and Tehran.
Who now is going to run the Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant and the secret uranium processing facilities, that's what I want to know... not to mention what will happen to all those facilities without their Russian staff.
DEBKAfile reports that hundreds of Russians were involved in installing the Siemens control systems, and these may constitute a second wave fleeing Iranian wrath.

#5  When all this started US, Iran, India, and Malaysia were hit. India at the time was hit the hardest at 39%. Russia at this time seems to be untouched as well as Germany. If you had a neighbor who wanted nuclear this has no trail. Mules perhaps. PK Daily has been right out front on allot of news as with the DEBKA. I looked at those untouched from the start.

#4  I have a broad tolerance for shaky source. I regularly read DEBKA and I find their contributions valuable, but you've always got to keep in mind that it's an outlet for certain sections of Israeli intelligence. For the most part, their stuff is true and first-rate.

This is one those times that I don't believe the report, unless we get independent verification. It is very much in the Israeli interest to drive a wedge between the Iranian gov't and the Russian technicians.

#3  Does hoping that Iranians'll execute a few of these alleged spies makes me a bad person?
