Injunction blocking publication of ex-SAS soldier’s book on counter-terror op extended

MoD claims book by soldier known as Christian Craighead contains alleged breach of confidentiality contract

An injunction preventing a former member of the SAS from publishing a book about his role in a counter-terrorism operation has been extended after an application by the Ministry of Defence.

The block on publication of the book in the UK will continue until the conclusion of a government legal action against the soldier, who is known only by the pseudonym Christian Craighead.
