The UK government has been conducting a massive spying operation on private, diplomatic and business communications of the Middle East and North Africa regions as well as Europe through its military base in Cyprus, media reports say.


A cross-European media team carried out a joint investigative research, whose findings revealed that Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) had installed spying devices in the military base in Cyprus, where many trans-Mediterranean fiber-optic cables from the Middle East, North Africa and Europe come ashore, according to the reports.
