Snowden release caused Britain to pull spies from Russia, China

In the treasure trove of documents that Edward Snowden has been releasing for the last couple of years were files that exposed the identities of British spies in Russia and China. Those spies had to be removed from their assignments before the files were cracked. Now, they’ve been cracked, the MI6 isn’t reporting if any of them were captured before they could make their way out.

The BBC, citing a government source, reports the countries “have information” that led to the agents being moved out of the countries. The source also said there was “no evidence” any spies had been harmed.
