Security & Intelligence - in brief
artdoc June=1994

MI6 in Australia: Two former Australian intelligence officers
have claimed that the Australian Intelligence Service (Asis) has
been run by the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, for
the past 40 years. Among the allegations, which were made on the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Four Corners programme by
two former Asis officers, was the claim that Asis agents were
carrying out surveillance operations against China, in Hong Kong,
on behalf of the British. The programme also claimed that
information obtained by the Australians on behalf of its allies
was not necessarily passed on to the Australian government. Times
22.2.94.

* Albania: how times change? The CIA has sent two small, unmanned
spy planes and a ground satellite transmitting station to Albania
to gather intelligence and monitor potential targets in the
former Yugoslavia. The slow-flying, remote-controlled planes are
capable of staying aloft for 24 hours. The Albanian parliamentary
assembly has also unanimously agreed to try and become a member
of NATO. Balkan News, 6.2.94.
