SENSETIVE INFORMATION LEFT ON TRAIN

Terror Secrets Blunder

A passenger on a London train found sensetive files about Al-Queda, the files contained a document on Al-Queda called Constraints and Capabilities, which was marked for UK/US/Canadian and Australian eyes only.

The paper was commissioned by the Foreign Office and Home Office. Counter-terrorism detectives were trying to find out who else could have seen the papers or if they had been copied.


Officers will also want to know why such sensitive information was removed from the Cabinet Office and who authorised it.

Neither of the papers are believed to list the names of British Intelligence Informants or sources of information.

It follows the embarrassing loss of two discs containing the tax details of 25million people last year, which led to the resignation of Head of HM Revenue and Customs, Paul Gray.
