CALGARY, June 28: A British journalist stumbled upon a secret document on Thursday detailing security plans for the world’s most powerful leaders at their summit in the Canadian Rockies, but police and government authorities insisted the safety of the leaders was never compromised.

The journalist found the 134-page document at a picnic site outside the security perimeter at Kananaskis, Alberta, the mountain retreat that played host to the Group of Eight summit. Kananaskis was protected by Canada’s biggest-ever security detail.

According to a report in the Times of London, the document contained such details as seating plans for British Prime Minster Tony Blair’s helicopter and diagrams of rooms at the resort where the leaders met and ate.

The plans pinpointed where each G8 leader sat to help security personnel protect the presidents and prime ministers against the threat of attacks.

The document was stamped “confidential.”—Reuters
