Dear Crown Prosecution Service,

In February/March 1994 when I was a serving officer in the Metropolitan police, I gave evidence at the Central Criminal Court, in a murder trial.

During the course of my evidence, Timothy Langdale, QC for the Crown asked me specific questions about what I knew about the planned terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on the 11th September 2001. (The event commonly known as 9/11).

I would be grateful if you would answer the following questions:

1. How did Timothy Langdale QC know that I knew about 9/11 seven years before the event ?

2. Did the Metropolitan police tell him verbally, or did they tell him in writing ? (If he was informed in writing please provide a copy of the document he was given).

3. Why was I asked questions about 9/11 in a murder trial, why was it considered relevant ?

4. Do you agree that in the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-defendants who are about to go on trial for their alleged involvement in the 9/11 attacks, it is in the interest of natural justice that they should receive a full and fair trial, and that the matters I have raised in this FOI request should be disclosed to them ?

Yours faithfully,

Emlyn Welsh
