The worm disrupted computer operations in mid-August at several large 
news organizations, including The Associated Press, ABC, CNN and The New 
York Times; such companies as heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar; and the 
federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement bureau.

Authorities in Morocco and Turkey have arrested two people believed 
responsible for a computer worm that infected networks at U.S. companies 
and government agencies earlier this month.

Farid Essebar, 18, was arrested in Morocco, while Atilla Ekici, 21, was 
arrested in Turkey yesterday, Louis M. Riegel, the FBI's assistant 
director for cyber crimes, said today. They will be prosecuted in those 
countries, Riegel said.
