A book by the police officer who once oversaw the fight against al-Qaeda has been blocked by the attorney general.

Baroness Scotland QC served an injunction against The Terrorist Hunters hours before the book was due to go on sale on Thursday.

The memoir is by Andy Hayman, a retired assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
