Did NATO begin planning the bombing of Yugoslavia a year before it

CD-rom of key Nato secrets feared sold

Thursday February 21, 2002
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
contained plans, aerial photographs 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 Milosevic 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.
