Sensitive information owned by the MI5 was stolen on Sunday in a burglary in Greater Manchester.

Thieves broke into a house and came away with a number of goods, which included a personal computer owned by the intelligence service. The PDA is said to include documents pertaining to information about combating terrorism.

Those who stole the PDA, however, will not be able to access the info as the files have been encrypted. It is not thought that the house was targeted for the computer, but the work of an 'opportunistic' robber.
