Cape Town - A former apartheid era intelligence agent has been blamed for the leak of spy cables to Al Jazeera TV channel.
According to the Sunday Independent, a number of intelligence sources say there was a breach of security on the part of the agent who was working on a secret project code-named Mokopa Missile project.
The agent allegedly allowed his brother-in-law to access his official computer. The brother-in-law then copied all the files and sold them to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the British secret intelligence M16.
