Bag stolen from train in Paris did not contain Olympics security plans, says city hall

Media initially reported that sensitive data on summer Games had gone missing at Gare du Nord

Paris city hall has said that a computer and a USB memory stick stolen from one of its engineers on a train at the Gare du Nord did not, as first feared, contain police security plans for the Paris Olympic Games.

A city hall worker contacted police on Monday night to say his bag was stolen on a train after he put it in a luggage compartment above his seat at the station in the French capital.
