Sensitive nuclear documents safe


Plans to destroy sensitive documents relating to an international nuclear smuggling ring mustn’t go ahead. That’s the decision of a parliamentary control delegation. It says that the government is capable of safely storing files which contain evidence linked to an investigation of three Swiss engineers – the Tinner brothers and their father – suspected of smuggling nuclear weapons technology. The documents are copies of files destroyed two years ago on the say-so of the government. This prompted criticism from parliament and legal experts who accused the government of undermining the prosecution in the smuggling case.
