SHAYLERGATE: British Press Gagged on Reporting MI5's 100,000 pound bin Laden Payoff (Propaganda Matrix & The Guardian)
"November 11th Update - MI6 'halted bid to arrest bin Laden': The London Observer today confirmed the story I reported on last month. Shayler was imprisoned for 6 months for revealing British Intelligence's protection of bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. "British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice."
