Mi6 Spy Agencies

China on Monday accused Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) of recruiting a couple who worked for the central government to spy for the UK, adding to months of mutual espionage allegations between Beijing and Western powers.

China has been cracking down on perceived threats to its national security, revealing several cases of spying that it caught in recent years.

Alireza Akbari, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war that raged from 1980-1988, was arrested sometime between March 2019 and March 2020.

A Briton accused of swindling a woman out of her life's savings while pretending be a spy posing as a banker has been arrested in Switzerland, British authorities said Tuesday.

Britain's MI6 spy agency will go back to its old, informal "tap on the shoulder" method of hiring new agents in a bid to find more black and Asian recruits.

The head of MI6, Britain's international spy agency, is warning that Britain cannot be safe until the war in Syria is brought to an end.

Britain's foreign intelligence service is to get 40 per cent more spies in one of the biggest expansions since the Cold War as MI6 seeks to harness new technology, the BBC said.

Britain will boost its intelligence agency staff by 15 per cent and more than double spending on aviation security to defend against Islamist terrorists plotting attacks from Syria, Prime Minister David Cameron said today.

SPECTRE premiered on Monday at a glitzy event attended by Prince William, his wife Kate and brother Prince Harry. Broadly praised by critics, the film has been directed by Sam Mendes and sees Daniel Craig play the suave, Martini-quaffing MI6 spy 007 in what is Bond's 24th outing since the first Dr. No in 1962

British spy agencies are under growing pressure to reveal how closely they worked with their US counterparts following 9/11 after a damning US Senate report exposed how the CIA tortured terror suspects.

Members of intelligence agencies MI5 and MI6 will now be able to ignore red lights, pedestrian crossings and road markings in classic 007 style.

Britain's top spy chiefs warned in an unprecedented television appearance on Thursday that Al-Qaeda and other enemies were "lapping up" intelligence leaks by Edward Snowden and using them to change the way they operate.

An inquest has been opened into the mysterious death of a British spy whose naked body was found padlocked in a bag at his home two years ago. The decomposing remains of Gareth Williams, 30, were found in August 2010 in a holdall in the bath at his London home, near the headquarters of Britain's MI6 external intelligence service where he worked.

American spy agency CIA warned its British counterpart MI6 that al-Qaeda was planning a "Mumbai-style" terror attack 18 months ago in the UK, but withheld detailed information because of fears that its secret sources would be exposed, a media report has said.

British spy agency MI6 played a key role in the capture of Saif al-Islam, son of slain Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi, a media report said. The top-secret 25 million pound mission, dubbed Operation X, used the latest hi-tech electronic intelligence gadgets to bug his phones and finally lead to the capture of the 39-year-old in the Libyan desert la...
