Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has brushed aside Iranian government claims that it has recovered data from a U.S. spy drone that it captured last year.

Iranian officials claimed Sunday that they were building a copy of the drone and that they had recovered information that the aircraft was used to spy on Osama bin Laden weeks before he was killed.
