Laptops Gone From Afghan War Center

.c The Associated Press 

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Two laptop computers are missing from the military command 
center coordinating the war in Afghanistan, including one with classified 
information, officials said Wednesday.

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is investigating the 
computers' possible theft from U.S. Central Command, office spokesman Maj. 
Mike Richmond said. The computers disappeared Thursday.

Central Command would not release further details, such as what information 
was stored on the computers and what office or person was responsible for 
them.

Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a news 
conference at the Pentagon that one of the computers contained classified 
information. He said it was too soon to say whether the computers were simply 
missing or stolen.

``The good news is that they were in a single room that is tightly 
controlled, where access is tightly controlled,'' Myers said.

Central Command, led by Army Gen. Tommy Franks, is responsible for U.S. 
security interests in the Middle East. It oversees the continuing military 
operation in Afghanistan and has been deeply involved in planning for a 
widely expected U.S. effort to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

The headquarters is part of MacDill Air Force Base.

Just this week, a government audit was released that showed the Justice 
Department lost 400 computers last year. Most belonged to the FBI and the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service, and many had classified information. 
The agencies said poor tracking of equipment was likely to blame, not theft.
