Here are some of the links I bookmarked, I didn't grab them all but as I find them in my history I will paste them here.
"“Intelligence sources report information reaching the West in the past week that Iran has put to death a number of atomic scientists and technicians suspected of helping plant the Stuxnet virus in its nuclear program.”
Note it says 'suspected', another source I recall was more firm on the employees not being involved (they innocently helped spread the virus through USB disks etc.) but the level of paranoia in Iran was so high that they needed a scapegoat.
This all started with the centrifuges wearing out, having to be replaced, debugged etc. and uranium production being set back by years. Two good sources on this aspect:
