David would be moved from his position at T Branch, focusing on the movements and actions of Irish terrorism, and is sent to G9 Branch, which handled Middle Eastern terrorism.

David would be the head of the Libyan desk.

It would be while working here that he and Annie would be made aware and witness three key cases being handled by the International Terrorism Section.

the first being an illegal wiretap of Guardian journalist Victoria Brattain.

For reasons far too long-winded and complicated to go into here, but essentially the warrant that was granted in order to tap her phones was illegal, and MI5 did not obtain a court order in which to do so.

The entire operation was built on flawed intelligence and bad judgement.

Even once MI5 management learnt of the issues, they would continue to violate the law.

The second was a case of wrongful conviction against two Palestinian students based in London who were convicted of conspiracy to bomb the Israeli embassy in 1994.

On July 26, 1994, on a sunny day in London, a smartly dressed woman, said to be of Mediterranean appearance, would drive a grey Audi through police checkpoints at Kensington Gardens, London's main diplomatic quarter.

She would park the vehicle next to the Israeli embassy.

She was quickly picked up by security surveillance and a policeman from the Diplomatic Protection Corps was sent to investigate.

She would tell the officer she was visiting the flats next door but was first going to buy some cigarettes down the high street.

A few moments after she vanished from sight, the bomb exploded.

Witnesses would say they saw debris rise 100 feet above the trees.

13 people were injured, but luckily no one was killed.

A second bomb would go off five miles north shortly after midnight.

In January of 1995, six Palestinians would be arrested.

Only two would be convicted for conspiring to cause explosions and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

According to Annie and David, MI5 possessed information that was never released to the defence, which they believe would have likely changed the verdict of the jury.

The two men, who have always maintained their innocence, would end up serving 15 years each in prison.
