According to Shayler the 1994 bombing of the Israeli embassy in London was known to the intelligence services before it happened , and could have been prevented . The British government later placed an injunction on the republication of Shayler 's claims although this was later lifted on 2 November 1997 allowing the paper to print his claims of how the bombing of the Israeli Embassy in London in 1994 could have been prevented if the service had acted on prior knowledge it had obtained . On 19 June 1998 he told '' The Spectator '' magazine that the security service had information that could have prevented the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing
