BRITISH spooks remained tight-lipped today after questions posed by the Morning Star over an alleged CIA plot to kidnap and assassinate Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in London.
MI5 did not respond when asked what it knew about the plans to kill Mr Assange on British soil reportedly discussed by the US spy agency and former US president Donald Trump at the White House in 2017.
Scenarios presented for killing Mr Assange included shootouts on the streets of London, crashing a car into his vehicle or even shooting the tyres off a plane taking him to Russia.
According to the Yahoo news report, US officials had asked their British counterparts to support their efforts. A former senior administration official claimed that the British agreed with the plan to eliminate Mr Assange.
