Russia: Spy gadget hailed as 'technological miracle'

Russia’s main KGB successor agency said today that a spy gadget hidden in fake rock allegedly used by a purported British spy ring in Moscow was a highly sophisticated device.

Sergei Ignatchenko, a spokesman for the Federal Security Service, known under its Russian acronym FSB, said that the device intended to help exchange information between agents and their handlers was estimated to cost tens of millions of pounds.
