BRITAIN'S overseas security service, MI6 (its headquarters are pictured right), has turned to social networking website Facebook to help recruit new agents.

"The open recruitment campaign continues to target wide pools of talent representative of British society today," a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.

MI6 launched Facebook job advertisements a few weeks ago to try to reach a larger variety of people, she added.

The intelligence service began using radio and newspapers for recruitment more than two years ago.

Budding spies can also apply for jobs at the MI6 website.
