Germany is investigating reports that the blueprints for the future headquarters of its BND intelligence agency have gone missing.

If the report in Focus magazine is confirmed, it could pose a serious security risk - and would be a huge embarrassment for the spy agency.

The new 1.6bn euro (£1.4bn; $2.3bn) agency headquarters are currently under construction in Berlin.

The government said a commission was looking into the "serious issue".

The new building, set for completion in 2014, has hi-tech security features and a huge price tag.

Wow... nice...

That's a GREAT way to start off a new intelligence agency... maybe they should just reconsider and scrap the whole plan at this point.
