Saudi-born Canadian gets life sentence in U.S. for ISIS propaganda support, terrorism
The electronic records, containing "specifics of Canadian capabilities and Canadian objectives or targets" in the war, were forwarded to an undisclosed number of "unauthorized recipients," say military police records obtained by The Canadian Press.
But defence observers, such as Liberal Senator Colin Kenny, said the leak is disturbing because it happened at a front-line headquarters."It's a concern whenever information gets out there that might have a negative impact on our people and our position in Afghanistan," said Kenny, former chairman of the Senate committee on security and defence.
A spokesman for Canada's overseas command would not comment on the incident, nor could anyone in the military say whether a followup investigation took place. Once plugged, intelligence officers said they traced the emails, identified the receiving accounts and there was "a request made for the deletion of the classified material," said the Canadian Forces National Investigative Service briefing.The initial damage assessment came back as benign and investigators took recipients at their word that the documents had been "immediately" erased from their email and hard drives.
"Additionally, the identity of the person responsible ... would be difficult to determine as it too was created some time ago."
