| Alan Rusbridger, Editor of 'The Guardian' |
The editor of the Guardian is to be questioned by MPs about his newspaper's publication of intelligence files leaked by the American whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Alan Rusbridger is to appear before the House of Commons home affairs select committee next month following warnings from British security chiefs that the revelations were damaging national security.
"Alan has been invited to give evidence to the home affairs select committee and looks forward to appearing next month," a Guardian spokeswoman said.
The heads MI6, MI5 and GCHQ claim terrorist groups are changing their operations as a result of the leaks.
The exposure of surveillance methods had left al-Qaida "rubbing their hands with glee", the MI6 chief, Sir John Sawers, said when the trio made an unprecedented public appearance together before another parliamentary committee. » | Press Association | Saturday, November 09, 2013
