One of the UK's leading private schools is under investigation after being accused of discrimination against the daughter of one of the west's most important spies, a former al-Qaida bomb-maker credited with saving thousands of lives.

Aimen Dean, who spied for British intelligence inside the terrorist network for eight years, has made a formal complaint against St George's School in Edinburgh, claiming it singled out his five-year-old daughter because other parents feared he was a security risk.
