According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Iranian scientists are secretly conducting crucial nuclear
research and development, using university laboratories as cover to
avoid international scrutiny, according to highly placed opposition
supporters within the Islamic regime.
About the IBM Research Division IBM Research is the world's largest information technology research organization, with about 3, 000 scientists and engineers in eight labs in six countries. IBM has produced more research breakthroughs than any other company in the IT industry. For rmation on IBM Research, //www.research.ibm.com. IBM
Laptop Computers Teheran's Imam Hossein University, which is run on military
brigade lines by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, is the main centre
for experiments on nuclear weapon technology, the exiled National
Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) reported.

Laptop Computer Last week, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that Iran had
successfully enriched uranium as it forges ahead with the nuclear
programme, which he claims is intended solely to generate energy,
but which the West believes is intended for atomic weapons.

Desktop Computer The belligerent Iranian hardliner followed up that claim with a
fresh diatribe against Israel, which he described on Friday as "a
rotten, dried tree", which would be annihilated by "a storm". He
has previously called for the country to be "wiped from the
map".
Notebooks Teheran is publicly flagging up its "peaceful" nuclear know-how
in its showdown with the international community. But, at the same
time, scientists with close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary
Guards Corps (IRGC) were conducting secret trials on military
aspects of the programme, opposition figures said.
Lenovo Alireza Jafarzadeh, the NCRI official who revealed the existence
of the clerics' clandestine nuclear programme to the world in 2002,
told the Sunday Telegraph that the latest information came from the
same sources within the regime's national security structure.
Hard Drive He named 21 professors and researchers involved in nuclear work
at the Imam Hossein University, many of whom also hold senior IRGC
posts, as proof that the Revolutionary Guards were running Iran's
supposedly "civilian" nuclear programme.
Travelstar The IRGC's influence in the regime has strengthened since the
election last year of Mr Ahmadinejad, who was a brigadier general
in its Quds (Jerusalem) Force, the wing linked to a series of
international terror attacks.
Gateway In a sign of the importance of the Imam Hossein University,
Iran's leader visited the campus in September for a briefing
shortly after his return from the United Nations in New York, where
he robustly defended Iran's nuclear ambitions.

president is shown inspecting students in military cadet uniforms.
He was told of "research achievements in the domains of defence and
national security, basic sciences as well as technical and
engineering fields", the Teheran-based Fars news agency
reported.
Software Clandestine nuclear research is being led by scientists who were
student radicals in the Islamic revolution that overthrew the last
Shah in 1979, and share the activist background of Mr Ahmadinejad,
49.
Hard Drives Fereydoon Abbasi, 48, head of physics, who fought in the
Iran-Iraq war, has overseen the transfer of several nuclear experts
to the university from other institutions.
Electronics Other key figures include Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 45, a nuclear
engineer whom the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has
unsuccessfully sought to question, and Mansour Asgari, 48, a laser
expert. They both lecture at Imam Hossein, but are based at the
Centre for Readiness and New Defence Technology, to which the IAEA
has been refused access by the regime.
Canon Dr Abbasi recently oversaw tests on the high-powered emission of
neutrons by a neutron generator, Mr Jafarzadeh said. Other work is
believed to focus on beryllium oxide (which has possible nuclear
applications), laser-enrichment, nuclear trigger experiments and
tests on bomb materials.
Desktop Pc "Imam Hossein university has a top-notch nuclear physics
department," said Mr Jafarzadeh. "The work they are doing there is
crucial to the nuclear programme and it has never been
inspected.
Desktop Computers "While Ahmadinejad is proudly proclaiming the regime's uranium
enrichment success, he is concealing the central role of the
Revolutionary Guards corps and its Imam Hossein University in the
secret rush to acquire the nuclear bomb."
Think Pad The United States will urge its allies this week to consider
punitive measures - including a freeze on assets, targeted
sanctions and travel restrictions - against Iranian leaders. Senior
officials from the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany
meet in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss their response to Iran's
announcement that it had joined the "nuclear club".
Repair The declaration came the day before a visit to Teheran by
Mohamed El Baradei, the IAEA chief, in a clear snub to the UN's
atomic watchdog. The UN Security Council has given Iran until April
28 to halt all enrichment activity, but is divided over what to do
if Teheran ignores the ultimatum.
Data Recovery The head of the Revolutionary Guards warned the US on Friday not
to attack the Islamic republic, saying American troops in Iraq and
the region were "vulnerable".
Cisco "You can start a war but it won't be you who finishes it," said
General Yahya Rahim Safavi, one of the regime's most powerful
figures. "The Americans know that their troops are vulnerable. I
would advise them not to commit such a strategic error."
