Washington (B2B) - Sebuah komputer yang digunakan Paula Broadwell, wanita yang berselingkuh dengan Direktur CIA David Petraeus, berisi informasi rahasia besar yang seharusnya disimpan dalam kondisi yang lebih aman, kata penegak hukum dan pejabat keamanan nasional, Rabu waktu New York.
Isi dan jumlah informasi rahasia itu--dan pertanyaan tentang bagaimana Broadwell mendapatkannya--adalah cukup signifikan untuk menjamin penyelidikan selanjutnya, kata para pejabat, Kamis (WIB).
Rincian informasi rahasia yang dipegang Broadwell, seorang perwira cadangan di intelijen militer, muncul Rabu ketika Pentagon menangguhkan izin keamanannya.
Dalam konferensi pers di Gedung Putih Rabu, Presiden Barack Obama mengatakan sejauh ini tidak ada indikasi bocornya informasi rahasia akibat dari perselingkuhan mereka, seperti dikutip CNBC.
Izin keamanan Broadwell telah memberinya akses ke materi rahasia tertentu, kata beberapa pejabat. Aturan pemerintah mengharuskan informasi rahasia seperti itu harus disimpan pada lokasi atau komputer yang aman.
Dua pejabat yang akrab dengan kasus itu mengatakan, para penyidik bertanya apakah Broadwell mengikuti aturan pemerintah untuk menangani informasi rahasia.
Ada kekhawatiran yang meningkat mengenai dampak potensial dari perselingkuhan Petraeus dan Broadwell, yang ikut menulis buku biografi jenderal purnawirawan.
Senin malam, penyidik FBI mencari tempat tinggal Broadwell di Charlotte, Kalifornia Utara, sebuah tindakan yang menurut para pejabat dilakukan dengan persetujuan BroadWell.

Washington - A computer used by Paula Broadwell, the woman whose affair with CIA director General David Petraeus led to his resignation, contained substantial classified information that should have been stored under more secure conditions, law enforcement and national security officials said on Wednesday.
The contents of the classified material and how Broadwell acquired it remain under investigation, said the officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment publicly.
But the quantity of classified material found on the computer was significant enough to warrant a continuing investigation, the officials told.
President Barack Obama told a news conference on Wednesday that there was no indication so far that any classified documents had been disclosed as a result of the scandal but said he will not prejudge the investigation results.
As a reserve officer in military intelligence, Broadwell - co-author of a biography on Petraeus - had security clearances that gave her access to classified material, several officials said. However, government rules require classified material to be stored in secure locations or computers.
Two officials familiar with the case said that one question investigators are asking was whether Broadwell followed government rules for handling classified information.
Late Monday, FBI investigators searched Broadwell´s residence in Charlotte, North Carolina, an action that officials said occurred with Broadwell´s consent.
