James Risen
Journalist James Risen has been prosecuted because he has revealed the details of a CIA-Mossad joint plot against Iran's nuclear program.

Risen, The New York Times' reporter for national security and intelligence affairs, included the details in his book State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, which was published in 2006.

In his book, Risen elaborated on plots which he said were being hatched jointly by CIA and Mossad agents to sabotage Iran's nuclear activities.

A federal grand jury subpoenaed Risen three months ago, reportedly asking him to reveal who had leaked the information about the plots.

One of these ideas was to build electromagnetic devices, smuggling them inside Iran to sabotage electricity lines leading to the country's central nuclear sites, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported.

The operation was reportedly supposed to cause a series of chain reactions which would create extremely powerful short circuits in the electricity grid. As a result supercomputers at Iran's nuclear sites would be damaged.

The Mossad planners proposed that they would be responsible for getting the electromagnetic facilities into Iran with the aid of their agents in the country. However, a series of technical problems prevented the plan's implementation.

Another of the book's important revelations, which made the administration's outraged at James Risen, appeared in a chapter describing what was known as Operation Merlin, the code name for another CIA operation. The plot included infiltrating agents into Iran's nuclear sites to collect intelligence about the country's nuclear program.
