BERLIN — German officials on Friday defendeda proposal to use “Trojan horse” software to secretly monitorpotential terror suspects' hard drives, amid fierce debate over whether themeasures violate civil liberties.

Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble wants toinclude the measure in a broader security law being considered by conservativeChancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government.

Carried in e-mails that appear to come from othergovernment offices, the software would allow authorities to investigatesuspects' Internet use and the data stored on their hard drives without theirknowledge.

Use of the government-produced technology for spying on terror suspects “will cover a serious and scandalous hole inour information that has arisen through technical changes in recentyears,” Stefan Kaller, a spokesman for Schaeuble told reporters.

The proposal stems from a Federal Court decisionearlier this year to block clandestine remote searches of suspect computersuntil there was a law governing the practice.

Schaeuble's office has not yet released a copy ofthe bill, but elements of it that were leaked to German media include allowinginvestigators to send e-mail messages that appear to be from the FinanceMinistry or the Youth Services Office, but which actually carry the Trojanhorse software.

"In recent weeks, German troops and others workingin Afghanistan have been targeted by Islamic radicals in suicide bombings and kidnappings aimed at forcing the withdrawal of the nation's 3,000 troops deployedwith the international security force there.The heightened threat level only makes the mattermore urgent, Kaller said, insisting that, “Any delay can mean a securityrisk.”This reproduction is for the purposes of privatestudy, research, criticism or review as permitted under provisions of CopyrightAct C-42(fair dealing) in Canada, and under Title 17 U.S.C.
