CD-rom of key Nato secrets feared sold
John Hooper in Berlin

The United States military's European Command last night appealed for
the return of a CD-rom said to be packed with a wealth of secret
military information on the Balkans.
In a report to be published today, the German magazine Stern said the
disk had turned up in a laptop computer auctioned on the internet.
The details on the disk were apparently compiled for Nato's bombing
of Kosovo. US European Command, based in Stuttgart, said: "If someone
says that they have classified information, they should safeguard
that information and turn it in to the appropriate authorities". It
would not say whether a CD was missing or an investigation was
planned.
Stern said the disk carried a "Nato secret" classification. It suggested that American
forces were
preparing for the conflict almost a year before the first bomb was dropped. Stern said
the CD conta
ined plans, aerial phot
ographs and the geographical coordinates of 53 potential military targets in Serbia,
Montenegro and
Bosnia-Herzegovina.
There were indications on the disk that the data had been compiled between April and
September 1998
, and that they had been put on the CD in February 1999, the month before Nato began
bombing.
The targeting of sites in Bosnia, a Nato-friendly country, suggests a belief that
Slobodan Milosevi
c might have tried to seize installations there.
The laptop containing the disk was reportedly bought for just DM118
(£38) in an internet auction by someone in Herten, near Düsseldorf.
Stern said the seller, from Schweinfurt in Bavaria, said he had
bought the computer in an army surplus sale.

simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not

Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
