London - An 87-year-old grandmother living in southern England has been revealed as an important Soviet spy, according to today's Times newspaper.
"Hola", as she was codenamed, operated with the Soviet secret service, the KGB, for 40 years, passing them secrets about Britain's nuclear weapons programme, it reported. British Home Secretary Mr Jack Straw has ruled out any prosecution with the now elderly lady on account of her age, the paper says.
