Kofi Annan Leaves Peace Talks in Limbo After His Hotel Room Is Bugged
Kenya - Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan may walk away from Kenya's peace talks after his security detail discovered his hotel room in Nairobi was bugged, according to a report.
Sources at the Serena Hotel, where the talks are taking place, said Annan's security detail became wary of his safety after discovering that his personal conversations were being intercepted, South Africa's Independent Newspapers reported.
Who may have planted the listening device and how long it was there remain unclear, the Independent reported.
Annan is said to be "livid," but it is not yet known whether he will walk away from the already troubled negotiations. (more)
Reactive security is gambling. Proactive security is cheap insurance. Kofi's security detail apparently bet and lost. Nothing they do now can turn back the clock. The damage is done.
Check for bugs, wiretaps and spycams before you know here is a problem. (more)
