inquiry into the events of 7 July 2005. Injunction On 1 July 2009, the English High Court issued a temporary injunction against the sale of The Terrorist Hunters after a hearing requested by Baroness Scotland QC, the Attorney General. The reason given for the injunction was "legal reasons relating to ongoing criminal proceedings", the Crown Prosecution Service fearing a passage in the book might influence jury members of a pending trial. When the injunction ran out the book returned to sale unedited and a paperback edition was published in October 2009. Publication Prior to its release, copies of The Terrorist Hunters were provided to the Cabinet Office, MI5, MI6 and the Crown Prosecution Service for approval, prompting Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson to suggest the Metropolitan Police Authority, the force's governing body, review whether senior officers should be allowed to publish such books in the future. The book, published by Bantam Press was serialised in British broadsheet newspaper The Times prior to its release.
