Bulletin is an online, subscription intelligence news service from
the creator of WorldNetDaily.com – a journalist who has been developing
sources around the world for the last 25 years.
Sources close to student groups in Iran as well as diplomats in the capital Tehran said the government had formed a new secretive Internet police.
The unit, nicknamed the “Ayatollah bugs,” was formed to monitor Internet activity and especially to stem the growing number of Iranian bloggers. The government believes Iranians are using Internet blogs to spread ideas alien to the Islamic revolution and especially the idea of democracy.
Agents stormed a number of universities and colleges across the country and checked computer rooms. In a number of cases students operating their own blogs were arrested. Iranian agents were ordered to monitor students in Europe who use cyber cafes or library computers for communications with dissidents and for the dissemination of info coming from Iran.
