Ahmadinejad calls for US leaders to be ‘buried’
Published October 03, 2010 | Associated Press
Iran’s president Sunday called for U.S. leaders to be “buried” in response
to what he says are American threats of military attack against Tehran’s
nuclear program.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is known for brash rhetoric in addressing the West, but
in a speech Sunday he went a step further using a deeply offensive insult in
response to U.S. statements that the military option against Iran is still
on the table.
“May the undertaker bury you, your table and your body, which has soiled the
world,” he said using language in Iran reserved for hated enemies.
Several top U.S. officials including Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff have said in recent months that the military option
remains on the table and there is a plan to attack Iran, although a military
strike has been described as a bad idea.

Stuxnet underscores the need to strengthen the defense of critical
industrial systems, lawmakers say. “While industry attitudes and awareness
have improved in the last few years, the same broken systems are in many
cases still in place, leaving our nation vulnerable to attacks,” said Rep.
Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), who this week introduced legislation to allow the
administration to regulate these critical systems and to expand the
Department of Homeland Security’s authority to enforce the rules.
Several weeks ago, a control system monitoring pressure in a natural

gas pipeline in San Bruno, Calif., malfunctioned, resulting in
an explosion and fire that killed eight people.
“This is what you could do unintentionally,” said Weiss, the industrial
control system security specialist. “Think about Stuxnet, where you could
start doing things intentionally.”
