Three feathers for spying technology:
TST: "MI6 stole secrets from French navy."
Top secret technology for tracking nuclear submarines
has been stolen from a French naval base by MI6,
Britain's foreign intelligence service, after a French
civilian engineer was paid thousands of pounds to betray
one of his country's most closely guarded secrets to an
MI6 front company which posed as a technical defence
consultancy and publishing house.
TST: "High-flying gliders replace satellites."
Solar powered gliders circling above cities could
provide a cheap alternative to satellites for global
communication systems, according to a group of American
scientists.
WaJo: "Israel Asks White House to Place Curbs On 3 U.S.
Satellite-Surveillance Firms."
The request is regarded as "very sensitive," according
to one U.S. official, because Israeli officials say it
relates to their national security concerns. However,
officials of the affected U.S. companies charge it
amounts to unfair competition because an Israeli company
is about to enter the space surveillance business and it
wouldn't face similar restrictions.
