UK Security loses
UK government papers, left on a train destined for Waterloo station, on Wednesday, contain criticism of countries such as Iran that are signed up to the global Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an inter-governmental body created to combat financial crime and the financing of terrorism.
The confidential files outline how the trade and banking systems can be manipulated to finance illicit weapons of mass destruction in Iran. They spell out methods to fund terrorists, and address the potential fraud of commercial websites and international internet payment systems. The files also highlight the weakness of HM Revenue & Customs' (HMRC) IT systems, which track financial fraud.
IMO: The UK Govt always seem to be losing files. Its like a colander. It is unfair to taxpayers who have funded all this, and to the UK lives who are lost because of this incredible idleness.
Here are just a few cases that we know of :
1990 Gulf War secret plans left in car.
2000 Military nuclear secrets stolen from defense miniater
2000 MI6 lose files in taxi (drunk as usual)
2000 MI5 files snatched in train
2005 Army personnel data stolen in Edinburgh
2006 Navy lose defense files in Manchester.
2008 Muslims get details of people joining army, apparently to kill them
April 2008 Army leave MoD files in McDonald's
Last Week files on Al Qaida lost in train.
