UK Spy base was asked to spy on UN delegates by NSA
GCHQ ROCKED BY UN BUG SCANDAL Gchq has been rocked by the arrest of a member of staff on suspicion of breaching the Official Secrets Act.
The 28-year-old woman is at the centre of an alleged 'dirty tricks' campaign to bug United Nations delegates as the US heads towards war against Iraq. Further arrests at the Cheltenham intelligence centre might follow.
