Czech, Russian intelligence clash over radar base

Posted September 26, 2008 10:09:00

The Czech counter intelligence service says Russian spies are trying to stir up public opposition to a planned United States radar base to be built on Czech soil.

The agency says Russian intelligence activity in the Czech Republic has reached extreme levels as Moscow attempts to influence Czech politicians and the media.

Russia has threatened to target the radar base with its own missiles.
