Germany's BND responsible for gathering intelligence abroad

BERLIN, Germany (July 12) — Blueprints of the new headquarters of Germany’s secret service BND has reportedly been missing and the chief of the service has admitted the fact but just negated the threats associated with this fact.

Ernst Uhrlau, chief of foreign intelligence BND, told media that the stolen blueprints are those of a parking area and of a "power generating centre", not those "at the heart" of BND intelligence-gathering offices currently under construction and due for completion in 2014. 

The documents in question were labelled as ‘confidential’ but not ‘top secret’. Uhrlau further added that the building plans can be changed if the stolen blueprints would seem to cause any threat. 

The BND, responsible for gathering intelligence abroad, has its headquarters in Pullach, on the outskirts of the southern city of Munich. Following reunification it was decided however to move them to Berlin and building started there in 2006.
