Laptops Gone From Afghan War Center By Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. -- Two laptop computers are missing from the military command center coordinating the war in Afghanistan, including one with classified information, officials said Wednesday.
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is investigating the computers' possible theft from U.S. Central Command, office spokesman Maj. Mike Richmond said. The computers disappeared Thursday.
Central Command would not release further details, such as what information was stored on the computers and what office or person was responsible for them.
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a news conference at the Pentagon that one of the computers contained classified information. He said it was too soon to say whether the computers were simply missing or stolen.
"The good news is that they were in a single room that is tightly controlled, where access is tightly controlled," Myers said.
