Operation Algeciras - Aftermath

Aftermath

An article published by The Sunday Times in October 1983 titled How Argentina tried to blow up the Rock exposes the basic plot but contains many errors because little was known about the operation at that time.

Argentine writer Juan Luis Gallardo wrote a novel based on this operation, OperaciĆ³n Algeciras.

In 2003 a documentary was made where Anaya, Nicoletti and other participants were interviewed. Nigel West, a British writer who specialises in covert operations, told the documentary team that Britain had known about the plot because of telephone-taps of conversations between Argentina's embassy in Madrid and Buenos Aires and had informed Madrid, but this may not be the case.
