Sweden Investigates Lost WikiLeaks Luggage, Including Evidence of Alleged U.S. War Crime in Afghanistan 03 Sep 2013 Swedish police opened an investigation Tuesday after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange urged them to find out what happened to a suitcase he suspects was stolen from him in 2010 by intelligence agents as he traveled from Sweden to Germany. The suitcase contained three laptops that had WikiLeaks materials, including evidence of a war crime allegedly committed by U.S. troops in Afghanistan, according to an affidavit that Assange's lawyer filed along with a criminal complaint to police at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport. In the affidavit, Assange suggested his bag may have been illegally seized "as part of an intelligence operation with the purpose of gathering information about me."
