London, April 4 (RHC)-- Just days after tension over the Malvinas Islands between Great Britain and Argentina regained momentum, newly leaked documents recently by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden claim the United Kingdom spied on the Argentine government for several years, because they feared the Latin American country would attempt to recover the islands.

According to TeleSur news channel, the newly-revealed documents suggest that Britain began spying on the South American country's officials in 2009.

The intelligence data also revealed that British spy agency Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) had been allegedly preparing a covert plan called “Operation QUITO,” which involved the Joint Threat Research and Intelligence Group (JTRIG), a classified unit that spreads misinformation.
