Head of Israel’s nuclear program twice loses his laptop to a thief

News of the theft from Israel Atomic Energy Commission chief Shaul Horev's home “was kept from the Israeli public on Monday by a military censor and a gagging order requested by the police.” The robber also took a wallet and “communication device.” “He has the highest-level security clearance, allowing him free access to Israel's most tightly guarded secrets, including Mossad intelligence on Iran's nuclear programme.” A government statement said the computer held no sensitive data. It is unclear whether the first stolen laptop was merely for his personal use, business or included data he used in his work.
