ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A thief stole a briefcase belonging to an Israeli International Olympic Committee member visiting Athens for discussions on security for the summer games, police said Friday.

The briefcase containing committee documents, cash and credit cards was taken Tuesday from a limousine used by IOC member Alex Gilady.

Gilady went to a police station to report the theft, which occurred while he was visiting the Greek Olympic Committee building.

He was in Athens during a visit by IOC President Jacques Rogge, who attended the announcement of the torch route spanning six continents, and discussed security preparations for the Aug. 13-29 Olympics in the wake of deadly terrorist attacks this month in nearby Istanbul.

Hope that briefcase has some fake security plans. . .

Sounds plausible.

I always leave the briefcase in the car when on business in foreign countries. /sarcasm

First check should be the driver and his friends........

You know, the Mossad really shouldn't trust the Olymic Chairman with nuclear secrets.
