Indian military investigates espionage from major air base near China | |
2005-08-05 | |
Indian military sources said on Thursday an investigation has been launched into alleged espionage by a soldier at a major air base near China, in which documents on troop deployments and high-level strategy were stolen. The investigation was prompted after the arrest last month of a corporal who worked in an area of the base with access to computer data. He was found with 100 pages of computer printouts of strategic importance, said a senior army officer who declined to be named. âIt seems (the corporal) last year passed on copious data on missile locations, deployment of infantry battalions at Chinaâs borders, weapons technology upgrades and classified minutes of commander conferences,â the officer said. Some documents, he added, had been stolen and passed on to rival Pakistan, which is a close ally of China.
