Libyan spies given secret data by MI5
The details of some of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi’s opponents who had fled to Britain were given to Libyan spies by MI5, according to reports.
Documents uncovered from archives in Libya reveal that agents for the British Secret Service supplied the confidential information to Gaddafi’s intelligence officers, according to a Sunday newspaper.
It is claimed that in 2006 two Libyan agents were greeted at Heathrow Airport and given a safehouse in Knightsbridge and secure mobile phones.
