Edinburgh school accused of discrimination by ex-spy is cleared

St George’s school asked to improve procedures after complaint from former al-Qaida mole Aimen Dean

A Scottish private school accused of discrimination by a former MI6 agent who spied inside al-Qaida has been cleared of wrongdoing but asked to improve how it handles disputes with parents.

St George’s school in Edinburgh was accused by Aimen Dean, a former bombmaker who was regarded as one of the west’s most important moles inside al-Qaida, of repeatedly discriminating against his daughter because other parents feared he was a security risk.
