THE girlfriend of David Slayler, the renegade M15 officer, arrived in London yesterday to hand Special Branch detectives a dossier of,document she had prepared alleging an MI6 plot to assassinate Col. Gaddafi, the Libyan leader.
Annie Machon, herself a former M15 officier, had travelled to Scotland Yard from Paris where she and Shayler live, to deliver the dossier.
In a letter accompanying his dossier Shayler urged Special Branch to question Tony Blair, Robin Cook, the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, the Home Secretary, and the heads of MI5 and M16 as part of an investigation into the alleged Gaddafi plot.
He said that the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary should also be investigated for, "Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice because they refused to act on his allegations.
Scotland Yard said the dossier was "being considered"
Shayler, 34, from Middlesborough, fled to France in 1997 to escape prosecution for alledged breaches of the Official Secrets Act after making a series of newspaper allegations about MI5 operations.
He subsequently spent four months in a Paris jail as the British authorities tried unsuccessfully to extradite him.
The Attorney General has since instituted civil proceedings for damages against Shayler in the High Court.
