UNITED STATES: Officials told the AP news agency on the condition of anonymity today that the government is investigating an unauthorised release of classified documents assessing Israel’s plans to attack Iran.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency documents note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s missile attack on October 1.
The investigation is also examining how the documents were obtained and whether any other intelligence information was compromised.
