<p>Researchers have found evidence suggesting the United States
may have developed three previously unknown computer viruses
for use in cyber warfare.</p>
</span>
<div>
<p>Anti-virus software makers Symantec of the US and Kaspersky
Lab of Russia say about a dozen computers in Iran and Lebanon
are infected. The researchers say the malware fits the profile
of military operations.</p>
<p>The US has already been linked to the Stuxnet Trojan that
attacked Iran's nuclear programme in 2010 and the Flame cyber
surveillance tool that was uncovered in May.</p>
