美国海军指控海豹突击队员泄密

The U.S. Defense Department says seven members of an elite Navy SEAL team have been disciplined for disclosing classified information when they served as consultants to developers of a video game.

Officials said Thursday that the SEALs are alleged to have divulged the information and shown the designers specially-designed combat equipment without authorization from their superiors. The designers were developing a game known as Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Each of the seven were given a punitive letter of reprimand and docked part of their pay for the next two months.

Officials said several other team members are also under investigation.美国国防部说，海军海豹突击队的七名成员由于在为电脑游戏开发商提供咨询时泄露机密信息而受到处分。

五角大楼官员星期四说，据称这几名海豹突击队员泄露机密，在没有得到上级授权的情况下向电脑游戏设计者展示了专门设计的战斗装备。这些电脑设计人员当时正在开发一种叫做“荣誉奖章：战争斗士”的电脑游戏。

这七名海豹突击队员都接到书面申斥，并将在今后两月内被扣除部分薪饷。

有关官员说，其他几名海豹突击队员也在接受调查。
