To get a responsible post in government take all sorts of security checks and references. But what they fail to check is the stupidity!!!
Ten men, suspected of links to al Qaeda, have been arrested as part of a counter-terrorism operation across the North West of England.The raids were believed to have been brought forward after the Metropolitan Police's Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick was pictured carrying papers relating to the operation.
Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said: "This morning, Bob Quick was briefing the Cobra meeting (of senior government officials) about this alleged plot.
"But as he got out of his car at No 10 he was photographed.
"Quite clearly seen in that photograph was the cover of a dossier that gave some details away of this alleged plot."
Among a large bundle of papers under his arm was a white document clearly marked "secret" and carrying an outline briefing on a counter-terrorism operation.
Mr Quick has apologised to Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson following the blunder.
He said he "deeply regretted" leaving the document on show.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Assistant Commissioner Quick accepts he made a mistake on leaving a sensitive document on open view and deeply regrets it. He has apologised to the Commissioner and
colleagues."
