Canada body-parts murder victim identified
WASHINGTON, June 29 (UPI) -- Australia is recalling a top spy who accidently left sensitive documents at a U.S. Congressional office building, the Australian reported Tuesday.
Robert Owen-Jones, a liaison officer with Australia's Office of National Assessments, apparently left a briefcase with classified documents at a Congressional office building earlier this year.
A U.S. official noticed the briefcase and delivered it to the Australian embassy, which then revealed the incident to the U.S. State Department.
No sensitive information was compromised, officials said.
However, Australia's ambassador to the United States, Michael Thawley, urged Owen-Jones be recalled and Canberra agreed to find a replacement.
The move to replace Owen-Jones reflects Australia's determination to avoid damage to its high-level access to the U.S. intelligence network, the Australian said.
