LONDON - The British government says a senior intelligence official in the cabinet office has been suspended after secret government documents were left on a commuter train.
The documents on al-Qaida and Iraq were found by a passenger on a London commuter train Tuesday. The passenger gave the documents to the British Broadcasting Corp. The government's decision to suspend the employee comes as police launch a major investigation into the security breach. An internal inquiry is also under way.
One of the documents was a seven-page report on al-Qaida's weaknesses.
The second document was top secret and contained an assessment of Iraq's security forces.
No authority to have the documents
A better explanation of what happened: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle4121544.ece
If true the civil servant / officer could be prosecuted. The civil servant undertaking the investigation, seperate from the police's, is Sir David Omand, a retired senior civil servant, known for his very sharp questioning and delivered in a serene, calm manner.
