TAIPEI–In an emergency meeting called Saturday, Premier Lin Chuan (林全) gave a directive that government agencies must get to the bottom of military leaks related to a missile blunder a day earlier that caused the death of a Taiwanese fisherman.

Lin called the meeting to manage the fallout from the unprecedented incident. The three-hour meeting was attended by officials from related agencies.

During the meeting, Lin said that the military leaks have posed a serious threat to Taiwan’s national security, demanding that the Ministry of National Defense review its existing measures to protect confidential information and the task force put together by the Ministry of Justice conduct a thorough investigation into the leaks, according to Cabinet spokesman Tung Chen-yuan (童振源).

Tung did not provide further details on the leaks.

But separately, Defense Minister Feng Shih-kuan (馮世寬) said earlier in the day in Kaohsiung that his ministry will look into possible military leaks, when asked about the actions of Tsai Cheng-yuan (蔡正元), executive director of the Kuomintang’s Policy Committee, who revealed the missile blunder in a Facebook post shortly after the missile was fired by mistake.     [FULL  STORY]
