STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - The Swedish government plans to train special information technology soldiers to protect the nation's military computer systems from hackers, a newspaper reported Monday. The government has issued a directive to the armed forces to train "IT soldiers" to be able to destroy hostile systems as well as protect Swedish computer systems, according to the daily Svenska Dagbladet. Computer experts in Sweden will conduct an exercise next year that will be modeled on a U.S. cyberwar game in 1997 where experts used software to crack codes and gain access to command systems at military bases and aircraft carriers.
