The Czech Republic's military intelligence service unintentionally revealed the identities of its own agents active after the fall of Communism, a newspaper report said Monday. The blunder dates back to April, when the state-run Prague-based Insitute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes posted on its website a list of Communist-era spies provided by the country's military intelligence agency.
However, several hundred of those spies stayed on after Communism collapsed in former Czechoslovakia in 1989 and some may be active to this day, the daily Mlada Fronta Dnes said. The institute took down the list in June after being alerted by military intelligence that it includes names of spies active after the fall of Communism, the report said.
