FBI Knows Identity of Storm Worm Writers
Interesting allegation:
…federal law enforcement officials who need to know have already learned the identities of those responsible for running the Storm worm network, but that U.S. authorities have thus far been prevented from bringing those responsible to justice due to a lack of cooperation from officials in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the Storm worm authors are thought to reside.
I’ve written about Storm here.

Does “lack of cooperation” means that the Russian authorities do not want to extradite these people? If so, is the FBI going to whine the same way the British government did with regards to Alexander Litvinenko? “The Russians do not cooperate, they do not want to extradite?”
Get a grid, FBI: extradition of Russian citizen is prohibited by the Russian constitution. (FBI isn’t too keen on respecting constitutions, mind you. Poor feds).
