*Smugglers Had Design For Advanced Warhead*

The drawings, discovered in 2006 on computers owned by Swiss

device that could be fitted on a type of ballistic missile used by Iran 
and more than a dozen developing countries, the report states.

The computer contents -- among more than 1,000 gigabytes of data seized 
-- were recently destroyed by Swiss authorities under the supervision of 
the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, which is investigating the now-defunct 
smuggling ring previously led by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan

Now I see.. Massive multi-billion investments into security 
infrastructure causes massive multi-billion bytes leaks. :-)
