Rediff US -November 17, 2003
A former British Secret Service MI5 agent who blew the whistle on an attempt to bug the Pakistani high commission in London has fled to Europe and is threatening to reveal more about the aborted operation.
The agent claimed to have a dossier of evidence, including documents and photographs revealing details about MI5's espionage techniques and what information it was trying to obtain about Pakistan, The Sunday Times reported.
The man, a building contractor who was codenamed Notation, left Britain in November, shortly before the Sunday Times exposed the spying operation.
British Home Secretary David Blunkett, who is furious about the botched spying operation and the leak, has denied signing warrants authorising the espionage attempt.
