因被指控对2008年经济崩溃犯有过失罪，冰岛前首相受到审判。不过近日法庭已判定对其主要指控不成立。法庭判定Geir Haarde经济危机发生时未及时通知并咨询内阁成员，但未认定其他三项指控，并宣布不对其进行处罚。哈尔德先生的冰岛独立党领袖Bjarni Benediktsson,认为这些指控本来就不应该被提交法庭。

"I've always been of the opinion that this was a political procedure from the beginning, from the outset. And I believe that we need to make sure in Iceland that we never again have criminal proceedings against politicians which stem from political opponents like we have in this case."

该领袖还提到，“我一直持有这种观点，从一开始这就是个政治行为。我还认为我们需要让冰岛人民确信，再也不会出现由反对党而提请刑事诉讼的情况了。如这个例子。

The Iranian government says computers running key parts of its oil industry have been targeted in a cyber-attack. It said Iran's oil ministry and the main oil-export terminal had been disconnected from the Internet as a precaution. The government said no serious damage was done, and the production and export of oil were unaffected. A special committee has been set up to deal with cyber-attacks.
