My reporting centred on British intelligence operations in Northern Ireland and Iraq: collusion, black ops, the full gamut of the Dirty War playbook. Double agents would be recruited within loyalist and republican terror groups like the IRA or UDA. Well, today, we’ve got a flavour of what our western intelligence operations have been like in the Middle East. It’s been uncovered that Shamima Begum, the so-called Isis bride, was smuggled into Syria by a double agent working for Canadian intelligence, aged just 15. She was then trafficked by Mohammed Al Rasheed, who was providing information to Canadian intelligence, while people smuggling for Isis.
