Spies swoop on Canberra office - The Australian


A FORMER senior officer at Australia's overseas intelligence service has been identified as East Timor's star witness in its espionage dispute with Australia, as intelligence services raided the offices of the Australian lawyer representing East Timor in the case.


Lawyer Bernard Collaery told The Australian last night that Australia's domestic spy agency sent between 15 and 20 officers to raid his Canberra law practice, searching for information on the case East Timor has brought against Australia over the operation of the multi-billion-dollar gas treaty governing the Greater Sunrise fields.
