London: Musa Kusa, the
former Libyan intelligence chief who defected to Britain, was acting
as a double agent for the MI6 and the CIA for a decade, an official
said.
Kusa had met former MI6 chief John Scarlett in 2001 in London. He
reportedly pledged to help track down Al Qaeda activity in North
Africa, saying that a British agent could operate in Tripoli.
The former spy chief who defected to Britain last week was being
questioned by the security services and ministry of defence
interrogation teams at a house in Surrey, according to the Daily
Express.
"It has been an extremely benign form of interrogation so far. His
chief concern has been the safety of his family. He was allowed to
phone them but lines were down," the official said.
