An executive from the French defense contractor Dassault Aviation had the sensitive documents pilfered after he set the briefcase containing the documents down to purchase a Eurostar ticket at Paris s Gare du Nord station on February 2. Police are examining closed circuit film from the station to try to identify the men who carried out the heist, the BBC reports. The man briefly left his briefcase unattended to aid a female colleague who was being harassed by an unknown assailant. The altercation appears to have been a carefully planned ruse to distract the executive’s attention.
