Stolen US military secrets on sale in Afghanistan

[Sparkly]

BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AFP) - Computer disks stolen from a US base in
Afghanistan said to contain military secrets are on sale in a bazaar despite an ongoing investigation and a security clampdown, witnesses said.

Dozens of memory chips are openly displayed for sale in shops at the public bazaar in Bagram, 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of Kabul, where the base is located.

The US military spokesman at Bagram Air Base, Colonel Paul Fitzpatrick, said the scam was being investigated, but did not rule out that discs containing sensitive information were still being smuggled out.

"I think it's possible," Fitzpatrick said.
