巴基斯坦医生阿夫里迪因为美国效力被判刑33年，他的家人坚称这是误判。他们称将直接诉诸巴基斯坦最高法院要求快速上诉。去年，中央情报局请阿夫里迪在阿伯塔巴德进行假疫苗接种项目，其目标是收集DNA样本以确认本拉登及其家人生活在那里一处院落里。阿夫里迪被判刑一事加大了巴基斯坦与美国之间的外交裂痕。

Security experts say they've uncovered malicious software which has been collecting private data in computers across the Middle East for several years. The international cyber security firm Kaspersky said the malware, dubbed Flame, collected huge amounts of sensitive information by taking screenshots, recording audio conversations and intercepting keyboard strokes. Here's Rory Cellan- Jones.

安全专家称发现几年来在整个中东收集私人电脑数据的恶意软件。国际网络安全公司卡巴斯基称，这种名为“火焰”的恶意软件通过截屏、收集录音对话并截获键盘敲击收集了大量敏感信息。罗里凯兰-琼斯报道。

This attack appears designed to collect information rather than cause damage. The researchers say more than 600 specific targets have been hit, ranging from individuals to business and government systems. The malware is capable of recording audio from a computer's microphone or collecting screenshots, and then sending the material back to the attackers. Kaspersky says it believes the malware has been in use for at least two years, and it looks as though it may be state-sponsored.
