Breached lab data mostly low-level
- Share via
Los Alamos National Laboratory said that the classified documents discovered at a trailer park during a drug investigation last month did not include the most highly sensitive nuclear weapons information.
The lab, which designs nuclear weapons, said a “careful and comprehensive analysis” of three electronic memory devices and paper copies of classified documents found in a residential trailer showed that they were mostly low-level secrets that are 20 to 30 years old. It said none of the materials involved the most sensitive weapons information.
The FBI is continuing a criminal investigation into a lab employee who owned the trailer.
