The Terrorist Hunters

[X-PASTER]

Copies of a book by Scotland Yard's former anti-terrorism chief were today removed from the shelves after the Attorney General obtained a last-minute injunction preventing it from going on sale.

The ban on sales of The Terrorist Hunters by Andy Hayman was issued by a High Court judge just before midnight after a hearing conducted by telephone conference call.

It was imposed just as the book was due to go on sale, although internet bookshops were still promoting the book as a special offer today.

The hearing which led to the interim injunction was sought by Baroness Scotland QC only yesterday despite the fact that the book, extracts from which appeared in The Times last week, was given to several agencies for vetting two months ago.

The full reasons for the injunction cannot be published for legal reasons. Why...? Kulikoni...? wanaficha kitu gani!?

Hayman was Scotland Yard assistant commissioner during the 7th July attacks, the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes and the murder of the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko. The book was part-serialised in the Times last week. Copies of the book has already been seen by the Crown Prosecution Service, the Cabinet Office, MI5 and MI6 and the Metropolitan Police Authority.
