Britain Used Spy Team to Shape Latin American Public Opinion on Falklands

LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 05: Protesters in favour of UK sovereignty of the Falkland Islands gather on Whitehall on February 5, 2013 in London, England. Argentina's Foreign Minister Hector Timerman is currently in London for the first time to argue for Argentinian sovereignty over the Falklands and has claimed that not 'one single country' supports the UK's right to govern the islands.

A “dirty tricks” unit helped with covert cyberoperations to prevent Argentina from taking the islands.
