Terrorists Using Google Earth:Plan Attacks in Iraq - 01/16/07 04:47 PM
British troops claim that terrorists are using images from Google Earth to plan attacks on their bases in Iraq after detailed printouts from the program, complete with coordinates, were discovered in raids.
British bases in Iraq come under daily fire. The armed forces believe the detailed imagery is being used to identify weak areas in military bases. Some soldiers are considering suing Google Earth if they are injured in attacks made using the maps.
Google says that they are open to government's requests. However many feel that it may be too late as the maps are already circulating. "�terrorist[s] now have the maps and know exactly where we eat, sleep and go to the toilet," said one soldier.
