Nato denies Kosovo security breach

NEWS A spy within Nato passed lists of bombing targets and flight plans to Belgrade during the Kosovo campaign, according to a BBC investigation. The news organisation has alleged that generous access to a Nato computer database resulted in leaks to the Serbian military during the first two weeks of the bombing campaign. Nato has denied the allegations, which state that a secure database containing the information was accessed initially by 600 people. When Nato cut that number down to 100, the leaks allegedly stopped.
