More confidential government files have been found left on a train.

The Independent on Sunday says it was handed the documents, which cover fighting global terrorist funding, drugs trafficking and money laundering.

The files, which relate to a meeting of financial crime experts to be held this week, were found on a train bound for London's Waterloo station on Wednesday.

A Treasury spokesman said the government was "extremely concerned" about what had happened.

The documents Czech court says ministry should pay compensation to SNK-ED ...

A Treasury spokesman said: "We are extremely concerned about what has happened and we will be taking steps to ensure that it doesn't happen in the future."

The papers were found on the same day that another batch of secret papers relating to intelligence assessments of Iraq and al-Qaeda were handed to the BBC after being left by a senior official on a train.
