British Asian intelligence and security officers have spoken to the BBC about their work in a bid to broaden recruitment among ethnic minorities.
Two MI5 agents were permitted to talk for the first time in the hope of attracting more ethnic minorities into the security service.
They told Asian Network their job was to protect the UK, not target Muslims.
Meanwhile, a Muslim officer of the security service MI6 has told Radio 1 about her work recruiting spies.
note Asian in UK English usually means of Indian or Pakistani decent ie the Asian sub continent not the Far East which in UK English is referred to as the Orient (although technically orient just means asia - it's a usage thing)
