Former Blair aide rocks boat with spy claim - euronews

http://www.euronews.net/ A former aide to ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair has admitted the UK did use a device hidden in a fake rock in Moscow to spy on Russia. At the time of its discovery in 2006 London dismissed Moscow's claims.

Now, in an interview with British TV Blair's former chief of staff, Jonathon Powell, says the Russians were right. He described the incident as "embarrassing" and said the Russians had had the rock under surveillance for some time.
