The Guardian has quoted investigators tracking the world's most infamous nuclear smuggling racket, as saying the Swiss government, allegedly acting under United States' pressure, secretly destroyed tens of thousands of documents from a massive nuclear smuggling investigation.

The information was seized from the home and computers of Urs Tinner, a 43-year-old Swiss engineer who has been in custody for almost four years as a key suspect in the nuclear smuggling ring allegedly run by Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan.

The report said that Swiss President Pascal Couchepin stunned his compatriots last week by announcing that the Tinner files, believed to number around 30,000 documents, had been shredded.

The extraordinary move, prompting demands for a parliamentary inquiry, was warranted to prevent the documents "getting into the hands of a terrorist organisation or an unauthorised state", according to Couchepin.

However, there are widespread fears this has already happened.

"We know that copies were made. Both US intelligence and the IAEA had been pursuing this with great urgency and diligence. But what happened to the other copies that Tinner made? It is worrisome that there are other plans floating around somewhere out there," the paper quoted Mark Fitzpatrick, an expert on the illicit networks at the United Kingdom-based International Institute of Strategic Studies as saying.
