Spy Caught Infiltrating UK Environmental Group

HeadlineApr 08, 2008

In Britain, the Times of London reports a spy working for a counterintelligence company recently infiltrated a direct action environmental group that targets the aviation industry. The man, Toby Kendall, joined the group Plane Stupid claiming he was deeply concerned by the impact of the aviation industry on climate change. In fact, Kendall was working for C2I Intelligence, a counterintelligence company run by former special forces officers. The Times of London reports members of Plane Stupid began to question Kendall’s identity in part because of his habit of wearing a Palestinian scarf with his Armani jeans and designer shirt.
