Taiwan investigating accusation submarine programme details leaked


TAIPEI (Reuters): Taiwan prosecutors said on Monday they are investigating accusations that people tried to interfere in the island's submarine programme and that details about it were leaked, in what would be a serious breach of security.

Taiwan unveiled its first domestically developed submarine on Thursday, a major step in a project aimed at strengthening the island's defence and deterrence against the Chinese navy, though it won't enter service for two years.
