LONDON -  A second-hand camera sold on eBay by a top MI6 agent held secret
records used in the fight against Al Qaeda terrorists. Names, snaps,
fingerprints and suspects' academic records were found in the memory of the
digital device.

Alongside them were photos of rocket launchers and missiles which spooks
believe Iran is supplying to Usama Bin Laden's henchmen in Iraq.

And a hand-drawn graphic revealed links between active Al Qaeda cells - with
terrorists' names and occupations.

Meanwhile a document marked "top secret" detailed the encrypted computer

real-life James Bonds working away from MI6's London HQ.

Among those named in the material was 46-year-old Abdul al-Hadi al-Iraqi,
who was captured by the CIA in 2007.

The fanatical Iraqi Kurd, one of Al Qaeda's highest-ranking lieutenants, is
being held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay.

The Nikon Coolpix camera

just $31 on the auction website by an innocent 28-year-old deliveryman who
lives with his mum.
