British drone secrets stolen from Paris train station

In what had all the hallmarks of a covert operation by spies, two men are believed to have stolen a briefcase at the Gare du Nord station in Paris. A high-level executive working for French company Dassault Aviation was on his way to London on the Eurostar train on February 2nd when the theft happened. The unnamed man briefly left his case unattended after his female colleague was "hassled" by a stranger, said a Paris Judicial Police source. Documents in the case were marked "Defence - Confidential" and contained details of a "joint Franco-British drone", a legal source close to the case told Le Parisien newspaper. The source said that the theft happened at around 5pm, when the station was packed with cross-Channel travellers.
