1978: Clandestine Operation of Argentine Military Intelligence in Mexico

Washington D.C., January 20, 2008 - Documents published today by the
National Security Archive reveal that Mexico's secret service captured
a squad of Argentine military intelligence operatives and expelled
them for spying on [exiled rebel] Montoneros living in Mexico" in
January 1978. At the time, the Mexican press denounced the presence of
foreigners attempting to target and assassinate the leadership of the
Argentine Montonero insurgents. Today, the documents of the now
dismantled Mexican Federal Security Directorate confirm that agents of
Intelligence Area 121 in Rosario, Argentina, "were sent [to Mexico] by
the authorities in their country."
