WASHINGTON (AFP) — The Pentagon expressed chagrin over the inadvertent disclosure of classified portions of a US report on the shooting of an Italian intelligence officer at a US checkpoint in Baghdad, calling the release of the information "unfortunate."
The report was publicly posted on a US military website using a type of electronic file that could be altered to reveal portions of the report that had been blacked out for security or privacy reasons, a Pentagon spokesman said.
"It was unintentional, and it was an unfortunate procedural error that the portions that were redacted were able to be converted into a file that you could unhighlight the redactions," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.
