This seems strange, because a consulate usually has equipment for securely destroying documents, which usually doesn't involve conspicuously burning them outside.
- skinkestek 6y agoEven US burns documents if necessary I think, isn't there a well known case with the embassy in Iran? While I was in the military I sometimes operated a secure shredder. It is a long time ago but I remember this: despite its rather large size the speed and the number of pages it would process was really limited. It had one thing going for it though: the output was thinly sliced :-)

"The Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line published documents seized in the embassy (including painstakingly reconstructed shredded documents) in a series of books called "Documents from the US Espionage Den" (Persian: اسناد لانه جاسوس امریكا, Asnād-e lāneh-e jasusi Amrikā).[10] These books included telegrams, correspondence, and reports from the United States Department of State and Central Intelligence Agency, some of which remain classified to this day."
