SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 30, 2023 | SaltWireLONDON - A former British intelligence worker who tried to kill a U.S. National Security Agency employee in a"premeditated, targeted and vicious attack" was jailed on Monday for 13 years.
"Due to the size and resourcing, American intelligence represents the largest contributor within the intelligence community so made sense as the symbolic target. I consider GCHQ just as guilty." Prosecutor Duncan Penny told London's Old Bailey on Friday that Bowles launched the attack outside a leisure centre in Cheltenham after researching two other U.S. nationals who had also worked for the NSA at GCHQ.
Penny said Bowles's motivations"demonstrate that his use of serious violence against 99230 was designed to influence the UK government, by inference, not to work with or not to work as closely with the U.S. National Security Agency and/or was designed to intimidate those working at GCHQ".
