China Engineer Held on Web Leak

BEIJING (AP) — A Chinese engineer has been arrested on charges of leaking secrets about a new warplane onto an Internet bulletin board, a newspaper said Wednesday.

Authorities tracked down the engineer after the article posted in May spread to other Internet sites, the state-run China Business Times reported.

The newspaper identified the engineer only by his surname, Guo.

The article he published allegedly touched on secrets about a new fighter plane that he learned about while working at a research institute in the southwestern city of Chengdu, the newspaper said.

The newspaper alleged that Guo posted the article to show off a specialist's knowledge of military affairs.

Prosecutors in Chengdu decided a few days ago to arrest Guo on charges of leaking state secrets, the newspaper said.
