Two held for US computer worm
FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Louis Reigel said there had been close teamwork between the FBI, Microsoft Corp and the Moroccan and Turkish authorities.
"This case happened very quickly," he told Reuters news agency. "Had we not had those entities involved in this investigation, I suspect it would still be ongoing today."
He said the two men would face prosecution in their native countries with FBI officials providing evidence.
Investigating team
The Zotob worm emerged just a week after Microsoft Corp warned of a security flaw in the Plug and Play feature of Windows 2000.
It caused computer outages at several large US news organisations as well as to heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar Inc and aircraft-maker Boeing.
Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith said many consumers had kept their software up-to-date so the impact of the worm was limited.
