Iran Says Sabotage Prevented at Nuclear Facility

March 15 2014

If it’s true what they say, that this is yet just another attempt, why are they waiting until now to mention it? And they are neglecting to say WHO is behind the alleged sabotage. Is there yet ANOTHER hidden agenda?

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian authorities have prevented attempted sabotage at the country’s heavy water nuclear reactor, a senior official said Saturday without giving specifics as to the nature of the attempted disruption or its suspected initiator.

Asghar Zarean, who heads security at the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said domestic intelligence agencies were instrumental in uncovering the plot, which has not been the first attempt to disrupt the contentious nuclear program.

“Several cases of industrial sabotage have been neutralized in the past few months before achieving the intended damage, including sabotage at a part of the IR-40 facility at Arak,” he said in a statement issued by his organization Saturday.

In the past, computer viruses have attacked Iranian nuclear facilities. While Zarean did not say whether that was the case this time, his comments coincided with the opening of a specialized lab Tehran says will fight industrial sabotage and neutralize cyberattacks.

“This specialized lab has been launched to identify, prevent and fight threats including modern software viruses,” Zarean said.
