"Probe into classified data leak

STOCKHOLM: Classified military information concerning Sweden and other countries, including the US, was found on an 
external hard drive left at a Stockholm library,
the Swedish armed forces said yesterday.

A member of the military confessed he had misplaced the memory stick, the armed forces said, adding it had launched an 
investigation.

"There were two classified documents on the USB (memory stick) ... This is very serious," said military spokesman 
Philip Simon.

The memory stick was discovered plugged into a public computer at a library in the Swedish capital on Thursday and had 
been given to the Aftonbladet daily, which in turn handed it over to the military.
