BERLIN - A German teenager who authorities say confessed to creating the 
Sasser computer worm last year will face trial in July on charges of 
computer sabotage, a state court said Friday.

Sven Jaschan, 19, was arrested at his home in northern Germany in May 
2004 after Microsoft Corp. received a tip from an informant seeking a 
reward. Jaschan's worm had raced around the world, exploiting a flaw in 
the company's Windows operating system.
